This massive consumption of bottled water along with massive profitability of this industry is because of the popular misconception that distilled water is cleaner and healthier than the regular tap water. However, Standage argues, tap water is known to be as clean and healthy as the distilled water with no potential health risks. This is evident from the example that people cannot differentiate between the tastes of bottled, distilled, mineral and tap water. Therefore, it is inappropriate to claim that the distilled or mineral water is cleaner and healthier than the tap…
In “The Story of Stuff: Bottled Water” by Annie Leonard, we are given facts about bottled of waters compared to tap water. Companies are promoting and selling bottled waters, scaring the buyers by saying that tap water is bad for them, and buyers believe it and prefer bottled water. Water is something that should be free and it has got to the point that it has to be bought. Tests have been made and tap water are healthier than bottled water, companies just care about the money, and all these bottles are just polluting the environment. Leonard states, “It’s time we took back the tap.…

Somehow most Americans believe bottled water is completely way more cleaner than tap water. One other reason how bottled water impacts the ecosystem population and biodiversity is the taste.

No, it isn't, no matter, if it's bottled water or if its tap. Let's start in why tap water isn't safe. First, people may think that just because the government is “protecting” it is clean and that it's “drinkable”, well no, it isn't it so happens that it has 80 “regulated” contaminants and more unregulated toxins. Then, there's the fact that most water that we drink has arsenic, fluoride, chlorine these are toxins that are unhealthy. Now what may each of them mean well, arsenic is a toxin that causes cancer, fluoride is a pollutant a by-product of copper, iron and aluminum manufacturing, chlorine is a toxin that causes serious cell damage once in the body system.…
Mexico has the highest per capita bottled water consumption. People in Mexico may believe that the tap water is not healthier or clean to drink it and people may drink bottled water because they don't like the taste of their tap water. I think that 50% of people drink bottled water thinking its healthier. I don’t think that drinking more bottled water can help a person lose weight. I think that tap water may help a person to lose weight.…
Bottled water is actually better for you because it is safer, its easily accessible, and it definitely tastes better. The first reason that most Americans like bottled water is because is a lot safer to drink. People that put in wells for tap water for their houses have experienced the well water be muddy or look like it has a red or orange tint to it because of clay or rust on the pipes.

In one case, water bottle companies purchased water from a…
Forget about the worn-out, rusty water fountain you saw, and taking time on refilling a cup on a busy day. Grab yourself a bottled water, store it in a bag, and drink it after school or practice on a hot day to quench your thirst. The water supply my school will provide has to choose between tap or bottled, which should be bottled water. Choosing bottled water provides a harmless, healthy drink that’s convenient in any disaster or circumstance. Put down that soda can, and leave tap water to the showers and sink.…
Tap water or filtered water? This is a debate that is a never-ending one. Although water in the United States is mostly free of certain microorganisms that can cause certain illnesses there's no real guarantee that it's 100% safe for you. Tap water is chlorinated before it gets to our taps to drink but who wants to drink water that tastes and smells like chlorine? Not to mention how all that chlorine and either added or unfiltered foods can contaminate or change the flavor of the foods that you cook.…

I. Bottled Water Vs Tap Water 1. I do think that bottled water labeling and advertising is misleading. The bottled water labels do not make it obvious that it is actually tap water and a person would need to be educated on how and where to discover how the water was bottled. 2. I knew most bottled water was tap water,…
According to Dr. Sarah Janssen, “bottled water isn't any safer or purer than what comes out of the tap,” this shows that it isn't always as healthy as you think. In addition, most bottled water contains germs such as giardia, heavy metals such as lead and they also include dozens of industrial chemicals. If you thought bottled water was healthy, think again!…
