What are the problems derived from drinking bottled water?

Name at least two


problems.

One problem is that when the oil is extracted and used for the production of bottles,
a lot of energy is wasted in the preparation and distribution of the same.

The planet accumulates a lot of waste from plastic bottles if people drink a lot of
bottled water.

When plastic bottle waste is burned, toxic pollution is released into the
environment.

This is becoming a problem because with this pollution is increasing more and
more and thus causing disease and death of various species of animals around the
world, let us be aware

2. What is the difference between bottled water and drinking water?

If the water is treated, processed and sold by a company, the water is bottled
water. If people can drink water without any problem, this water is drinking water.

3. Describe the process involved in making a plastic bottle.

The companies obtain raw materials from nature to make bottles, then the
companies make them, when the companies have already made the bottles, they
fill them with processed water. When the water is already bottled, the bottles will be
distributed until they reach the people. Once the empty bottles are collected, if they
are not thrown away or incinerated, the bottles will be used to make new, lower-
quality products.

But this is a problem that is why some organizations have obtained by the
returnable container a glass container that is reused and for the implementation of
this some companies have raised the costs of the other products so that they
obtain by obtaining the returnable

4. What happens to the plastic bottles after we throw them away? If plastic bottles
don't end up in landfills for many years, they end up in incinerators where toxic
pollutants are flushed out.

5. What solutions can be implemented to solve this problem?

If we work to prohibit the purchase of bottled water throughout the city, people will
drink potable water or obtain by using only returnable bottles.
6. Is this a common problem in your community? What is the community doing to
deal with it? It's very common. Many people in my community have water filters in
their homes and fill a bottle with water every time they go out. When people do this,
they don't need to buy bottled water.

7. Will you drink bottled water again? Why? Why not? It has been a long time since
I drank bottled water. I have some reasons and one of them is that I spend less
money if I do not drink bottled water, another is that I think it is not worth spending
money on it if I can get water from the tap.

8. What will you do in the future to reduce the number of plastic bottles used in the
world?

I will encourage my family and others not to drink bottled water and I will participate
in campaigns against the use of plastic bottles and supporting them to use
returnable bottles not only with water with any drink.
