purifying of the water itself. If you are a person, with existing health issues, you will really need to be mindful in drinking tap water. It can contribute to additional health problems.
Upon my research, I did a survey and the average amount of water bottles drank a week was 7 bottles. I did a survey to 100 students. That’ s 700 bottles a week. Also of the 7 bottles drank 2-3 are recycled, not helping anyone or anything on this planet. The average American drinks 100,000 gallons a year, and if the kids I surveyed drink 7 bottles a week at 16oz they will go over the 100,000 gallons by 7,890 gallons.
In conclusion, based on my research, I still believe strongly that bottled water will always be the number one choice for drinking water, regardless of its practicality or price. There are many different reasons that can be argued for either side, but I like my view the best.
