The story of bottled water, tell us the story of manufactured demand-how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap.
The phenomenon of people buying bottled water instead of tap water is very common, due to its flexibility convenience and attractiveness, and all the commercial effect illustrate us that bottled water is healthier and tastier. However have we ever thought every time we buy a bottled water we create more waste and the bottle never can be 100% recycled in reality. and from the video that shows us bottled water is not as fantasy as in the commercial, it even taste worth than tap water, from the research. That brings me thing in depth, what is the reason we keep buying the bottled water,personally i think it due to its convenience. When i feel thirsty in the university, i would prefer go to nearest shop to buy a bottled water rather than looking for a tap and refilling my water bottle. and i suggest university or other public places should provide more tap water drinking place.
the video also covered the topic of how to take back the tap and how we can support investments in clean, available tap water for all. In some developed countries drinking bottled water is not appreciated anymore it just as bad as smoking in the public, people think it is a way of pollution, this phenomenon up grated to a social norm, which is good way to encourage people not buying bottled water.
we only have one plant, and it can not afford any more pollutions, everyone should take effort to protect our planet, therefore let's drink tap water instead of bottled water.
