Why Bottled Water Is Better “Researchers have shown that millions of Americans regularly drink tap water that is contaminated with toxic and cancer-causing chemicals such as lead, trihalomethanes (THMs), arsenic, radioactive materials, and pesticides.”(Mott 1997) This quote taken from the National Resource Defense Council shows how dangerous tap water can be to your health and the amounts of contaminants in the water supply. Contaminated tap water has been known to cause illness to many people
our water that we drink every day, which is better, bottled or tap? Tap water is the best drinking water for everyone anywhere. Before you choose which water you drink, what do you ask yourself? Is it safe, is it cheap, does it taste good? You’re probably thinking “Isn’t bottled water safer to drink?” No bottled water and tap water come from same source. A study taken by 20/20 from ABC news shows the proof, “20/20 took five bottles of national brand of bottled water and a sample of tap water from
Water is probably the most important nutrient in a human's diet, seeing as humans are 75 % of it. Most people believe that bottled water is better than tap water because of its convenience, chemically induced purity, and safety. This idea is accurate for many reasons, one of them being that statistically speaking there is only 0.3 % of usable drinking water for humans. When faced with the option of using hot tap water or bottled water most individuals pick bottled water. Not only do people use clean
Tap water is not always accessible, while bottled water can be carried anywhere and is almost always accessible. One of the many positive effects of bottled water being so readily accessible is it helps to stay hydrated by always having it on hand. Also, when tap water is not available because of natural disasters such as hurricane Katrina, bottled water provides aid by being clean, drinkable, and easily accessible. In addition, taste plays a big role to why bottled water is better. While doing
Did you ever wonder whether tap or bottled water was better for drinking? Some people only rely on tap water throughout their entire lives while some use tap water for only cleaning uses. In this project I will determine if tap of bottled water is better for drinking purposes, for I have wondered the same question. I want to inform people that bottled water is also harmful. Most people think that bottled water is the innocent neutral substance next to tap water. In this literature review I will go
Wasted Water (The strong effects that water bottles have on the consumers and the environment) Did you know that in 2009, United States consumers bought 8.45 billion gallons of bottled water? “Bottled water is a drain on the environment: The U.S. public goes through about 50 billion water bottles a year, and most of those plastic containers are not recycled” wrote Elizabeth Royte's in her 2008 novel Bottlemania: How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought It . Americans drink more and more water bottles
Bottled water is not a wise consumer choice because the more bottles of water bought means the more bottles thrown on the ground or in the dump. Water bottles are not free either, they cost money to make, and the effects that the water bottles have had on people using them or being around them are dangerous. All together water bottles are just a big hassle and wasted resources that we could be using for other, better thing. So, hopefully this will change your mind about bottled water being good for
substantive growth, limited growth or retrenchment for a chosen organisation. Market entry Penetrating the bottled water market poses a tough challenge for PETRONAS. This is due to the fact that not only is the process of entering the market capital intensive (due to expenditures such as advertising, shipping and hiring of staff) the market is also oversaturated with companies selling bottled.
