Is bottled water safer to drink than tap water? Some say bottled water is no safer, better, cleaner, or healthier than tap water. Here are some reasons to break that bottled water habit.1. It’s expensive.
2. Two million plastic beverage bottles are used in the US every five minutes, often piling up in landfills, discharging chemicals into the environment.
3. The making of plastic bottles uses non-renewable energy and emits toxic chemicals.
4. Transportation of bottled water releases carbon dioxide into the air and diminishes any efforts for global climate change.
So what do we do? Purchase tap water or refrigerator water filters, then refill a reusable aluminum water bottle. And, if you must buy plastic, recycle it!
