With a drought in parts of the country where water is bottled most often, it may be time to turn back to one of the nation’s least favorite water sources: the tap.
But is tap water safe? This video explores the issue.
Here are the most salient points from it. After reading them, watch her support these facts a million times over.
- Bottled water is more expensive than the tap. You knew this, though. You can get your tap water for almost free, but your bottled water is 100 times the price.
- The number of bottles of water we buy per week could circle the globe five times. An amazing, fake-sounding factoid that’s actually real!
- Bottled water takes enormous amounts of oil to create. The amount of oil? Enough to fuel one million cars for a year.
- They don’t really get recycled. They just sit in giant plants in other countries, waiting for other people to deal with them.
- Bottled water isn’t always better quality. Bottled water frequently loses taste tests to tap, and often isn’t as strictly regulated, meaning it may not even be as clean as the tap.
