Owing to its features like convenience and ease of use, bottled water’s consumption has been tremendously increased in recent years. However, majority of studies in the US reveal that the over usage of bottled water is leading to several serious problems.
One of the disastrous drawbacks of the usage of bottled water is that it leads to environmental problems. It is estimated that about 250,000,000,000 liters of bottled water are consumed worldwide every year generating about 2,000,000 tons of plastic wastes. Since it takes thousand years for plastic bottles to biodegrade, it ends up in leeching its lethal chemicals into the groundwater. The result is severe contamination of our future water supplies. Additionally, when it comes to price, bottled water is outrageously expensive due to its promotional and transportation expenses.
The best alternative? Using inexpensive tap water and then filtering out chlorine and other contaminants through a quality home water filtration system and getting a great tasting water that you and your family can enjoy and be assured of its quality. Great tasting water for pennies a gallon instead of dollars!
