To day bottles of water become so friendly with everyone. They occur in every single house, in a drink’s machine of every school and in every single office of a building. Everyone buys bottle of water every time they go to the supermarket. But in fact bottle water is enemy of environment and our health. So we should use tap water instead of bottle water.

Bottle of water industry affects to oil consumption. American drinks more bottle of water than any where in the world. American purchases estimate around 29 million bottles of water every year and the resource to make those bottles use about 17 million barrels of crude oil. With that oil’s amount we can keep 1 million vehicles on the road for one year.

Second reason a lot of bottle water companies who usually talking about recycling bottle after used to protect the environment. In fact for those 29 billion bottles of water are used, only 13 percent of them are recycled. So about 87 percent of bottles of water will be become litter. A large amount of little bottles of water became a number one reason end up in our landfill, lake, ocean and streams. American empty 2.5 million bottled water an hour, when it takes 500 millions year to decompose. Moreover in a recycling process plastic bottles give our environment such as chlorine gas and ash containing heavy metal that can quietly destroy human’s health.

Third reason a lot people believe that bottle of water is taste better than tap water but in fact after so many tests bottle of water taste same as tap water. Moreover bottle of water is not even safer than tap water. In bottle of water has some kind of chemical which people first avoid. So we have to pay about 10000 times more expensive for bottles of water to drink the water which same as tap water so if we stop using bottle of water we can save a lot of money. With that amount of money we can do a lot of different things, which can help our life and our environment better.
