The[1] [2] [3] [4]  Problem with Disposable Plastic water bottles

Water bottles are leaving a huge negative impact on the planet and the environment. The plastic water bottles are getting in the ocean and killing all the beautiful animals and creatures. The water in the bottle is not even better than normal tap water by any means: it is actually worse for you.

SAVE YOURSELF SOME CASH!!!!!!!!!

Firstly, plastic water bottles cost much more than the free tap water so if you buy water bottles you are just wasting your money. You can just have your own bottle and reuse that if you need a drink and the bottles that you can buy and reuse are much cheaper in the long run.

TAP WATER IS BETTER FOR YOUR HEALTH!

Secondly, the water in these plastic water bottles is not healthy for you at all since the ph for the water in those bottles is often less than 7 which means it is acidic and is not good for your teeth at all. Scientific tests have shown that the water in these commercial bottles is either IDENTICAL to tap water, or inferior…..so why continue to be unhealthy?? CHOOSE clean, fresh tap water. Melbourne water is considered some of the best in the world-we’re so lucky!

TOO MUCH PLASTIC IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!

Thirdly, The plastic in the plastic water bottles pollutes our planet and leaves a big impact on the environment. Research has shown that 40% of plastics discarded in waterways and oceans come from the BEVERAGE industry!

Plus,the plastic bottles that go in the bin must be transported somewhere by a truck using fuel for the travel and it must put the plastic somewhere.

In conclusion, we must stop using plastic water bottles we can have our own bottles and reuse those bottles for the environment and our overall health. The water in these bottles is not healthy and we already have a clean, fresh solution……………...TAP WATER!!!. The planet and ourselves would be much healthier if we just used tap water.
