PLASTIC BOTTLES (FGCU)
Ever wonder how much money is being spend on non reusable plastic bottles? Bottled water is a $100 billion a year industry. The price people pay for tap water is highly subsidized, which means most people pay directly and indirectly for water.
America is shipping one billion water bottles a week around the U.S. in ships, trains, and trucks, when we have clean water at our homes. Imagine the money spent on shipping all of that bottled water. This is also a major problem for the worlds land fills. 38 billion water bottles a year are dumped into landfills and in excess of $1billion worth of plastic. A surprisingly 24% of the bottled water purchased is tap water repackaged by Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.
I feel that every one should purchase an at home water filters because it can save the average person about $150 a year. One re-usable, BPA free bottle only costs about four dollars. Most home water filters guarantee even better quality, better then the bottled water.
BPA is a chemical poison that is being consumed when drinking or eating from plastics that contain it. BPA is a chemical which real name is Bisphenol - A, which is an environmental pollutant with estrogen activity, and a building block that is used primarily to make polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins. Which i discovered from Bisphenol-a.org.
I feel that non recyclable/ reusable bottles are a problem to society, because not only is it affecting the environment but this product affects the humans using them.
