Bottled water has become one of the largest industries in the world. Over half of all Canadian drink bottled water, spending 240-10,000 times more per gallon for bottled water than they do for tap water, a trend largely fueled by the misconception that bottled water is safer or healthier than tap water.
Is bottled water really the best way to get healthy, great tasting water?
How do you know about the quality of the water your buying?
Is the cost worth it?
Controversial reports from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in Washington, DC, and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in Gland, Switzerland, say no. Even the Federal agency that regulates bottled water quality, the FDA, says no! “Companies who market bottled water as being safer than tap water are defrauding the Canadian public.” U.S. FDA
It has also become a target of the environmental community due to the massive amounts of plastic bottles being disposed of from bottled water use.
Bottled water is now a multi-billion dollar business, the fastest growing and most profitable segment of the entire beverage industry. If you currently buy bottled water, chances are it’s because you prefer the taste and trust the quality over tap water, but do you really know what is or is not in bottled water?
BottledWaterBlues.Com was created to encourage awareness of some very important issues, primarily the purity of our water and the best place to get it. Why pay so much and get so little?
When it comes to something as important as our water, which makes up over 70% of our body and ultimately determines our health more than anything else, knowing the facts is essential.
Indoor plumbing was one of the greatest lifestyle enhancements in history. We once had to leave our house, transport and store water. Then, we progressed to indoor plumbing and had a continuous supply of water at our fingertips. Now, we are regressing… people are once again transporting and storing water. Instead of walking to the well, we are driving to the store or having water driven to us. Bottled water simply doesn’t make sense, don’t let high priced ad campaigns make you think that it does. Once you know the truth, we hope you’ll join the millions of informed consumers who are “Just saying no” to bottled water!
The best alternative to tap water is in-home water filtration. With an in-home water filter you can have better than bottled water quality… at the touch of a button… for under 5¢ a gallon.
Home Water Filtration vs. bottled water… it’s better quality, a much better value, far more convenient… and it’s better for the environment!
I was at a gas station recently and was blown away seeing cases of bottled water baking in the hot sun on a 40 degree Celsius day (over 100 degrees Fahrenheit). We are talking about frying an egg on a black car type of hot day. Even though I know these bottles would be unsafe to drink with bacteria, micro-plastics, vinyl chloride etc. I would still prefer to drink from these bottles than from what comes from a tap. After 4 decades of research into what we get from tap water, I still would prefer to drink water from a plastic bottle than the water treated with chemicals from municipalities. But sadly there are other issues with bottled water that make this not the best solution.
Why take a chance? Having a home water purifier cost as little as 299.00 and gives you freshly purified water far superior to anything you will ever find in a bottle, and for a fraction of the price. Save money on your budget and at the same time save our planet from plastic pollution.
To buy polluted water in a plastic bottle at 10 times the price of purified water simply does not make sense.
