One of
these slogans present in waters is that they come from pure springs, and if
some water bottles come from cascades and springs but not all the brands come
from these. According to Janet Majeski Jemmott in its article “Bottled Water
Versus. APT Water” mentions that more from 25% of the prepared brands of waters
they come from the service of municipal potable water, later the water is
treated, purified and sold to prices that lift considerably their cost. So when
much people are surprised when she finds out that in fact they are taking water
from the faucet, which is not mentioned in the labels of the product since the
companies are not forced to make mention. Personally I would like to mention
that a year ago I resided in the city of Fort, Veracruz, and in front of my
house a company existed that sold purified water, memory that all the mornings
the great doors were opened and a dark place could be appreciated are enormous
water tanks to which they only added some chemicals to him and it came myself
to his bottling; but by all means that this company is a local company that
obtains with the water of the public subminister and all we understand and we
know clearly that the transnational companies have standard stops of hygiene
and security.
In the 2004
prepared water consumption was of 26.000.000.000 of liters, 26.000.000.000 are
almost 28.000.000.000 of plastic bottles in a year, of which 86% finish like
sweepings, 1500 water bottles finish in the sweepings every second, “Water for
all, but it does not stop all… To optimize this natural resource and to avoid
the waste will be the only solution for the needs of the 2030” 26.000.000.000
are of used 17.000.000 petroleum barrels to produce those plastic bottles, this
petroleum could have been sufficient to supply fuel to 100,000 automobiles
during a year. 26.000.000.000 of liters also contributes to the production of
2.500.000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), produced by the manufacture of plastic
bottles.
It buys
only the necessary thing, not advisable it. The unnecessary thing, although
only costs a penny, is expensive”. It does not matter what you choose when you
think about being green. Discarding the water bottles you maintain to the
planet earth and your pocket in green.
