1 B Do you drink from the tap or buy bottled water? Explain the reasons behind your choice. Say whether you think the following statements are true or false. Then read the article and check your ideas. For the vast majority of Americans, a glass of water from the tap and a glass from the bottle are virtually identical as far as their health and nutritional quality are concerned. The first documented case of bottled water being sold was in Boston in the 1960s. Across the globe, people drink roughly 5% more bottled water every year. Americans consume more packaged H2O than people in other countries do. Last year, Americans drank more bottled water than soda. We spend 100 times more on bottled water than we spend to drink from the tap. A recent report found that almost a quarter of all bottled water is actually derived from the tap. A recent Gallup poll found that 23% of Americans worried a great deal about the pollution in drinking water. A recent blind taste test survey by students at Boston University found that three quarters of taste-testers identified the tap water sample correctly. It takes more water to make a bottle of water than it does to fill it. For every six water bottles Americans use, three make it to the recycling bin. Business Insider May 2017 Facts that show why bottled water is one of the biggest scams of the century There s nothing quite like the feeling of pure, ice-cold hydration. Some of us get our water for free from the tap. The rest pay for it at the cost of roughly $100 billion a year. At that steep a price tag, you might assume buying the bottled stuff would be worth it. In most cases, you d be wrong. For the vast majority of Americans, a glass from the tap and a glass from the bottle are virtually identical as far as their health and nutritional quality are concerned. In some cases, publicly-sourced tap water may actually be safer since it is usually tested more frequently. There are exceptions, however people living near private wells do not enjoy the same rigorous testing as those whose water comes from public sources, and some public sources are not properly screened, as was recently seen in Flint, Michigan. But there are plenty of reasons to stop shelling out for bottled water. Read on to find out all the things you didn t know about your drinking water. The first documented case of bottled water being sold was in Boston in the 1760s, when a company called Jackson s 1/4

2 b The Bottled Water Scam Spa bottled and sold mineral water for therapeutic uses. Companies in Saratoga Springs and Albany also appear to have packaged and sold water. Across the globe, people drink roughly 10% more bottled water every year, but Americans continue to consume more packaged H2O than people in other countries do. Last year was the first time Americans drank more bottled water than soda. Bottled water effectively reshaped the beverage marketplace, Michael C. Bellas, Beverage Marketing s chairman and CEO, said in a recent statement. It s not cheap. At an average cost of $1.22 per gallon, we re spending 300 times more on bottled water than we d spend to drink from the tap. But that number could be even higher, some analysts have pointed out, since most sales are for single bottles. Research suggests that for most Americans, the stuff in a bottle is not better for you than the stuff in your tap. In fact, a recent report found that almost half of all bottled water is actually derived from the tap. In 2007, Pepsi (Aquafina) and Nestle (Pure Life) had to change their labels to more accurately reflect this. The recent resurgence in bottled water s popularity may be due to rising concerns about the purity of tap water. A recent Gallup poll found that 63% of Americans worried a great deal about the pollution in drinking water the highest percentage since And when it comes to taste, most of us probably can t tell the difference. A recent blind taste test survey by students at Boston University found that only a third of tastetesters identified the tap water sample correctly. Making bottled water is also an extensive, resourceheavy process. It takes more water to make a bottle of water than it does to fill it. A recent study from the International Bottled Water Association found that North American companies use 1.39 liters of water to make one liter of the bottled stuff. But hey, you might be thinking: At least they get recycled, right? For every six water bottles Americans use, only one makes it to the recycling bin, according to National Geographic.
