Bottled Water Research Paper

No Bottled Water in Waunakee

By, Samantha

Did you know that the bottles of water you throw away every day take more than 2,000 years to decompose. That water you buy in a plastic bottle has acid in it and other bad chemicals. So why do you drink it? Because no it’s not any more convenient than your clean tap water, and no it’s not healthier or better for you it’s worse! We live in Waunakee and we should consume the best water possible so others will too. Waunakee should ban bottled water because it has way more cons than pros. There are so many reasons why bottled water is horrible and you will certainly agree. For example “MBG Planet” states most bottled water has acid in it!

First of all it’s not just the water in your plastic bottle, it’s the bottle too! According to “MBG Planet” If you leave your bottled water out it the heat or in room temperature heat too long chemicals like “Endocrine Disruptors” will seap out of your bottle and into your water. Do you know how bad that is for you! Sense people have been figuring out that those bottles aren’t good, companies have started to label them BPA-Free. So that means you have to look threw all the

information on your bottle to find out if it’s good for you! That’s not convenient, you can just bring a metal water bottle.
Second of all you are mainly paying so much more for your clean tap water with a certain label in a plastic bottle. In the text from the article (MVE/Mountain Valley Express) Says that the “Mountain Valley” water you drink that comes from the top of a mountain, yah that’s not water from a pure mountain that’s tap water! “Did you know that only 25% of the bottled water you might buy and drink actually tells the truth of where that water comes from!” Stated Christiana Z. Peppard. You want the whole truth and nothing but the truth on you water label right? And with your tap water and a metal water bottle you can have the truth and clean water! See guys this is why you shouldn’t use plastic bottles and just use your own reusable bottles.
The U.S Administer claims that If we keep using bottled water in Waunakee our food is not going to be good for us either!

In most cases, like Waunakee we use local water sources to grow our crops and all those healthy foods like carrots, apples, and strawberries. But the food you think is healthy is not all that healthy, when some farms start using the same water from bottled water and add other chemicals into that water to make them grow larger and faster. So if we ban bottled water or at least reduce the amount we purchase/consume that can help with our “healthy” foods we all love! Yes, I know that people think that bottled water is good because it has vitamins or something like that in it that is good t grow food. But guys open your eyes and put on your glasses and read the label. It’s not good for us or our

food.
Poisonous plastic bottles, clean tap water that cost a lot of money for the label, unhealthy food, and all because we drink bottled water! You heard that bottled water is just clean tap water with a certain label in a pretty container, but it cost so much more. Also that if you leave your plastic bottle anywhere that isn’t freezing it release chemicals into your water! Remember those fruits and vegetables that were in your lunch today, well if those were grown with local water they probably weren’t that healthy. So why do most of us drink it….? Exactly there aren’t any excuses because for every pro there is a con, and most likely the con brings down the pro. For example people eat McDonalds because it taste good but that doesn’t mean it’s healthy. There are so many bad things about bottled water I know for a fact that Waunakee should ban bottled water!
