Stop drinking from plastic water bottles!

[crono_logical]

I reuse my plastic cup from the water machine at work so get through one a week instead of 10 a day ?

[Old Manus]

It's not like every single country in the world has drinkable tap water. Go anywhere in Europe and the chances are that you will be encouraged to drink cleaner bottled water.

If we stop drinking from plastic water bottles the world will be saved? I'm not convinced. Plus I'm not interested in saving it anyway. Most humans don't give a damn what happens to animals, their happy to wipe out whole species, so this save the Earth effort, an "oh no global warming is going to kill us all", centres around humans. An although some of them are nice, there are that many scummy ones, that I'd cheer on the destruction of Earth, purely because I look forward to them all dying. Especially if it's due to their own behaviour, because that would be hilarious. They go on about how clever they are, an about the wonderful things they've created with their high intelligence, an if those wonderful things they've created that they think proves their so intelligent, destroyed them all, that would be great.

Once again, Anaisa goes off another rant and that was a classic rant then.

I still think people should care because it's not the world fault but people's.

Thanks. Somebody has to be entertaining.

Yeah, not everywhere gets clean tap water. When I was in Spain we'd go through a huge 5L bottle in like a day and had to buy another.
I never drink water out of plastic bottles anyway.

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 only response I can think of to that is...

There are actually many things in life that I have yet to figure out, like, why men wear cell phones on their belt when they could so easily fit them in their pockets mere millimetres away, or why - and I'm not complaining - women wear tube-tops even though every ten seconds it makes them do this:

Get-back-in-there!

yeah but a lot of people don't trust municipal water, when they really should, since it's more strictly regulated than the bottled kind, and is most likely cleaner...not to mention how much cheaper it is.

But we came up to a conclusion that we should re-use our plastic bottles instead of bying new ones

Indeed, the thing is that we've become a society on the go that requires water that is ready available to us.

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

I thought re-using water bottles was really bad for your health too cause of all the bacteria that builds up and stuff. Maybe I shouldn't listen to what my mom tells me but

Also, I'm tired of people jumping on Anaisa after every post she makes. Stop that.

[Yamaneko]

I just open my mouth when it rains and store the excess for the period of prolonged drought.

Well but you can't tell people that are soooo used to drink bottle water to stop doing that! You have to go slowly. My teacher said that the country I am has the best tap water on the europe so she didn't understand why people drank bottle water and she said 'what? you just do that because it's fashionable?'. The reason why people drink bottle water is stupid! But we have to start somewhere

[Araciel]

i don't know when they started drinking bottled water in europe but we only just started in recent years....so it shouldn't be hard to phase out.

also people drink bottled water because it's marketed. you don't see ads for tapwater. also, they seem to think it's cleaner or better.

[Anaisa]

If you buy tap water when you're out, it can be chilled. But if you take your own water out with you, it's going to go warm after awhile. I don't like drinking warm water, so if I was going to drink water when I was out, I'd prefer to get it from a shop whilst I was there.
