Bottled Water Safety Issues
Not only are water bottles polluting the environment, they are polluting the very water you drink.
The President’s Cancer Panel Report recommends not drinking bottled water because dangerous chemicals, including BPA, can leach from the plastic into the water. Additionally, this same report found that half of the samples of bottled water they tested had some form of bacteria growing in the water.
Not only that, but the waste involved in producing bottled water will shock you:
It takes millions of gallons of oil to produce the plastic bottles.
It takes millions of gallons of oil to deliver the bottled water to your store.
In the U.S. alone, we are wasting 50 billion plastics bottles each year.
The average American family spends over $500 each year buying bottled water.
