problems at least.

One problem is that bottled water creates a lot of garbage. Plastic is the most
widely used material for bottling water in the world. You have to know that
only 20 percent is recycled.
The price of the water we drink is excessive, 2000 times more than tap water.

• What happens with the plastic bottles after we throw them away?

• ¿Qué sucede con las botellas de plástico después de que las tiramos?
If plastic bottles don't end up in landfills for many years, they end up in
incinerators where toxic pollutants are expelled.

• Is this problem common in your community? What does the community do

to deal with it?
What will you do in the future to reduce the number of plastic bottles
used in the world?

• ¿Es este problema común en su comunidad? ¿Qué hace la comunidad para

¿tratar con él?
It's very common. Many people in my community fill a bottle with water
every time they go out, so they shouldn't spend to buy bottled water. Also in
my city we have the best drinking water in the country.
¿Qué hará en el futuro para reducir la cantidad de botellas de plástico?

I will change the PET bottle for a reusable one.
I will put in a water purifier and filter the tap water.
