Drinking water
25 per cent of bottled water is simply tap water – sold for 2,000 times the cost. If it isn’t directly from the tap, it still takes away from our fresh water resources that could be used for everyone at a fraction of the cost.
Reality two: Bottled water uses fossil fuels. Period. Nestle Waters also forgets to do the math; it takes a lot of energy to make plastic bottles, fill them, distribute them to stores and, hopefully (many do not), recycle them.
All that energy is equivalent to filling a quarter of the plastic water bottle with fossil fuels. In other words, the tap is just more efficient and better for the environment.
Reality three: Public water is regularly tested and safe. The City of Regina tests its water in 15 locations once per week and, in addition, performs supplementary testing for metals and chemicals like disinfection byproducts once per month.
In comparison, bottled water facilities are inspected on average once every 2.5 years.
