    Isabel Johnson’s article “Bottled Water, Go Away” brings up a different perspective to an ongoing debate over the impacts of plastic water bottles on the world. She presents both the pros and cons of bottled water. Her reasons, however, do not provide a strong argument since she does not clearly support a single claim. Nonetheless, the reasoning behind her logic is supported using information obtained from research. Her credibility is built, but at the same time lost, from using these resources because they are not suitable to cite.…

    El Camino College acquires large amounts of money from students, however, our drinking fountains are dirty, when they work. Private companies on our campus force students to purchase their $1.50 bottle of Dasani since students wish to have clean drinking water.

Water bottles contain BPA, which has been linked to causing cancer and birth defects, which particularly affects women and according to One Tree Life a study conducted…

    I am writing in regards to a request that I analyze rhetoric used in Isabel Johnson’s article “Bottled water, go away” and whether this article should be published in the student newspaper, The Shorthorn. This article is an interesting read, especially for students that consume a lot of bottled water, and strongly discusses both sides of the argument very well throughout. It’s easy to agree that bottled water is convenient in most cases, but at the same time it can be harmful to the environment when people don’t dispose of the empty bottles in the preferred manner, which is recycling. The author uses appeals to emotion when talking about how important bottled water can be in times of natural disaster and drastic need, but also appeals to logic…

    I do not agree with them, in this article I’m going to tell you what I think and all of my opinions, Also there’s some stuff I want to tell you and it’s about sink water. In source 2, the article “Bottled Water: The Right Choice” It states many good things about bottled water. One of the biggest things they talk about is that it is very convenient and that means when you’re on the go you just grab a bottle of water right out of the fridge, or when you are at a store and you’re thirsty they sell water bottles! If there were no water bottles it would be very odd because you would go to a gas station and there would be no bottled water so you would probably have to go to their bathroom and… drink the sink water which is NOT very healthy.…

    The EPA does not live up to their standards of protecting people from dangerous substances by allowing plastic bottled water industries to thrive off producing more plastic water bottled products. First, plastic water bottled products are dangerous to both human and oceanic life because of the health problems it presents when being made. Also, plastic from the plastic water bottles are made from oil that has cancer-causing agents known as benzenes. In addition, the factories that produce them, the biggest being Flint Hills, poison the air, ground water, and soil surrounding them. This makes me wary of the EPA and how they could not investigate the plastic producing factories due to not receiving enough complaints from the people and the higher…

The length of time for plastic water bottles to decompose is between four hundred and one thousand years.
