.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.
