Everyone seems to be telling us something different about bottled water versus tap water but if you notice, some of the bottled water manufacturers are companies that are not known for concerning themselves with our health; case in point; Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola. Since when is soda pop a healthy choice?
Surveys show that 56% of Americans today are concerned about the quality of their tap water and the bottled water industry is cashing in on our fear at an alarming rate of $22 billion a year, worldwide.
The misconception that many bottled water companies are projecting is that their water comes from pure springs of distant mountains, but do they really?
Many experts claim that bottled water companies actually use the same type of sources that your tap water comes from and you’re paying for it!
Did you know that 1.5 million tons of plastic are used to bottle water every year and that they wind up in landfills which only add to the earth’s pollution?
And what about the harmful release of toxic-chemicals into the air during the making of these plastic bottles and their disposal?
Your best, safest and cheapest way to ensure that you and your family are drinking safe water without adding to the world’s pollution crisis is to buy a water filter and drink your water straight out of the tap.
If you live in an area where the water is contaminated, try boiling it or filtering it, especially if money is a concern.
