Evidence: The story of bottled water

1. What are the problems of drinking bottled water? Mention two

problems at least.

When a lot of oil is used to make plastic bottles and when we see many
plastic bottles in the streets.

2. What is the difference between bottled water and drinking water?

That the bottled water is processed and contaminated by companies that

manufacture the bottles, instead the tap water is simply transferred to the
people without being processed.

3. Describe the process involved in the manufacture of a plastic bottle.

The companies obtain the raw materials, then they are incinerated and from
there the new bottles arise.

4. What happens with the plastic bottles after we throw them away?

If they 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 promote campaigns in schools about bottled water, people will stop

buying bottled water and drink tap water.

6. Is this problem common in your community? What does the community

do to deal with it?

if it is very common, people buy bottled water believing that it comes from
clean areas but they are wrong, if we do not hold meetings and talks with
the community about each family having in their house a special trash can
only for plastic bottles. We will have many environmental problems in the
future.
7. Are you going to drink bottled water again? Why? Why not?

I will try not to drink bottled water again. I will try to drink tap water. And if I
buy bottled water, I will deposit the bottle in the correct container.

8. What will you do in the future to reduce the number of plastic bottles
used in the world?

If my work area and my family support me, i will make campaigns for rules,
penalties or fines for people who do not recycle the plastic bottles they buy
in their stores.
