Why We Should Curb Our Use of Bottled Water
Why We Should Curb Our Use of Bottled Water Globally 154 billion litres of bottled water was consumed in 2004. This was up 57% from five years earlier. In 2006, an astounding 30% of people in Ontario who had access to regularly inspected municipal water supply primarily drank bottled water. Many people believe that bottled water is purer and safer than tap water. Before buying your next bottle of water please consider the following facts: Some bottled water actually comes from municipal water supplies, so you are paying twice for the same water. The City of Toronto inspects its water every four hours. Bottling plants are inspected only once every 3-6 years! Some studies have found concentrations of arsenic and mercury in bottled water. Bacteria in bottled water can multiply very quickly when stored over long periods or exposed to intense heat. Our oil supplies are peaking and gas prices are sky rocketing, making plastic bottles
