1.

What are the problems derived from drinking bottled

water? Mention two

problems at least.

One problem is when the extraction and the use of oil for the

production of bottles is done,

much energy is lost in the preparation and distribution of the

same.

The planet accumulates many plastic bottle wastes if people

drink a lot of bottled water.

When plastic bottle waste is burned, toxic contamination is

released into the environment.

2. What is the difference between bottled water and

drinking water?

If the water is treated, processed and sold by a company, the

water is bottled water.

If water can be drunk by people without any problem this

water is drinking water.

3. Describe the process involved in manufacturing a

plastic bottle.

Companies obtain raw materials from nature to manufacture

bottles, then companies

manufacture them, when the companies have already

manufactured the bottles, they fill

the bottles with processed water.

When the water has already been bottled, the bottles will be

distributed until they reach the

people.

After the empty bottles are collected, if they are not thrown or

incinerated, the bottles will

be used to make new products of lower quality.

4. What happens with the plastic bottles after we throw

them away?

If the plastic bottles do not end up dumping in landfills for

many years, they end up in

incinerators where toxic contaminants are expelled.

5. What solutions can be implemented to solve this

problem?

If we work to prohibit the purchase of bottled water

throughout the city, people will drink

drinking water.

If we press the officials of our city in our city to bring sources

of drinking water, we will get

them to do so.

6. Is this problem common in your community? What

does the community do to

deal with it?

It is very common. Many people in my community have

water filters in their homes and fill

a bottle with water every time they go out.

When people do this they do not need to buy bottled water.

7. Will you drink bottled water again? Why? Why not?

It's been a long time since I have drinked bottled water.

I have some reasons and one of them is that I spend less

money if I do not drink bottled

water, another is that I think it is not worth spending money

on it if I can take water from

the tap.

8. What will you do in the future to reduce the number of

plastic bottles used in the

world?

I will encourage my family and other people not to drink

bottled water and I will participate

in campaigns against the use of plastic bottles.
