Thread: Stop drinking from plastic water bottles!

  1. #1

    Default Stop drinking from plastic water bottles!

    We should stop drinking from plastic water bottles.
    1. It's not good for our health.
    2. It's really, REALLY, bad for the environment.

    Producing these bottles wastes A LOT of water (much more than you can drink from the bottles itself) and A LOT of electric power (20 times more than a London household does in average every day.).

    PLEASE save the Earth NOW! Stop drinking from plastic water bottles!

    On my english class we once had an argue about this! And it is true bottle water is actually bad for your health! But we came up to a conclusion that we should re-use our plastic bottles instead of bying new ones

    After seeing this thread, I'm going to drink from 10 times the amount of plastic water bottles than I'd usually drink from.

    Yeah, especially with Aquafina admitting that their water is actually just tap water ... xD And to think that I used to drink Aquafina all the time.

    Because plastic water bottles will cease production when the members of EoFF cease to consume them. It has been foretold by the elders.

    I drank a water bottle last night and felt really sick for a while this morning. Do you think there's a connection?

    I never drink water! Only sodie pop, milk, and juice for me. But even if I did drink water, I wouldn't pay for it when I could get it from the sink for free.

    The only way you would get sick from drinking urine would be if there was something wrong with it. As it is, normal everyday urine has the same qualities as water.

    Considering that we are paying the government more taxes for some sort of water purification system in our taps, why does anybody drink bottled water?

    I'm very confused by this.

    The message is dont drink from plastic water bottles, not dont drink water from plastic water bottles, so drinking soda from plastic bottles causes the same damage. (apparently)

    Anyway if they made glass bottles again or cans that could be closed, i wouldnt need plastic bottles

    And why drink tap or bottle water when the rain falling right on your head

    Probably! you see, they add some chemicals to bottle water so the taste becomes different than normal water! However it's a very small ammount! BUT if people drink all the time bottle water they can have some problems

    Do currys have an effect on urine? I remember having two currys once and when I went to have a leak, it was surprisingly dark and not bloody but just, not right. OH WELL.

    Don't know about that, but odds are you just didn't drink enough water that day.

    Anywho, drinking bottled water is a bad idea for more reasons than just the health effects from the bottle anyway. You don't get many of the minerals you need from water from a lot of bottled water. You're better off drinking tap water.
