Murch Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Tap water, purified tap water and bottled water all have the same amount of average bacteria. Bottled water, however, can be up to ten dollars more than either other option. Amount of Waste: Bottled water- 80% of water bottles contribute to 3 billion pounds of waste. Some scientists believe it could take 1,000 years for the plastic to decompose. If the bottles are sitting in a landfill, unless the bottles are at the top, the bottles won’t decompose at all. A lot of greenhouse gases are produced from making plastic bottles. Millions of gallons of fuel are wasted daily when filtered tap water is transported across America. Reverse Osmosis Filter: The filters have to be changed sometimes so some filters have to be thrown out. The filters take just as long as the bottles to decompose. Tap Water: The tap water does no major damage to the environment. Possible sources of error: Prices may be slightly inaccurate. Tap water is the top choice as it is cheapest and most easily accessable. For more info visit this site, click here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muluck Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yeah, and?Walking is more eco-friendly than driving, but people still drive.People don't buy bottled water because they think it's eco-friendly, they buy it because it's faster and portable.

Dark Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Muluck summed up my opinion. But I'm almost certain that Reverse Osmosis and UV Radiation filters take out extra bacteria that is left in from normal ol' tap water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aximil Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I voted for no in the poll because this is all common knowledge. Only snobby, stuck up peoples or peoples that are overly worried about germs buy bottled water. Peoples could buy ONE water bottle and fill it with tap instead of constantly buying hundreds of bottles of water. Much more eco-friendly a cost efficient.

Cin Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I remember in BBC Panorama they got people to try different waters to see if they could decide which was the expensive bottled water and which was tap water...they decided Thames tap water was the expensive bottled one.

It doesn't matter if you care. But it still proves my point on what type of peoples buy bottled water. And the way you're doing it is less conveniant. Unless of course you thinks it's conveniant to waste money on water you already have access to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
