THE STORY OF BOTTLED WATER

My name is Jose Luis Narvaez and I present the evidence to the history of bottled water

Then questions and answers

Evidence: the story of bottled water

1. What are the problems derived from drinking bottled water? Mention two problems at
least.

When the production and extraction of oil is used to make the water bottles and when the
waste of plastic bottles appears on 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 manufacturing a plastic bottle

First, when companies obtain raw materials from nature to make bottles. Second, they fill
them with processed water, transport bottles to people, collect empty bottles and take them
to incinerators, use them to rebuild new bottles.

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 solution can be implemented to solve this problem?

If we promote political campaigns that reduce the sale of water bottles and if we give schools,
houses and families the consequences of buying bottled water, people will drink tap water
without any worries and will not have any kind of disease.

6. Is this problem common in your community? What does the community do to deal
with it?

Yes, 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
environment problems in the future.
 7. Will you drink bottled water again? Why? Why not?

Not because the difference between the taste of bottled water and tap water is not much and
because when you buy those bottled waters, we are only causing companies to make more
and more unnecessary plastic bottles.

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.
