Millions and millions of water bottles are made every year. There has been a huge controversy between purified water and tap water. While most people agree that a bottle water is more healthier because it's clean, experts actually say that tap water is actually the better one. Every day Americans spend thousands of dollars on water bottles when they can just get free water right from their home. Consumers consume about half a billion of water bottles a week, which can literally wrap around the earth 5 times.

The idea of the water bottle all started when soda was said to be bad for you. Also the water companies said the same thing that their water was bad. People got scared so they started to buy water bottles. Even though that might sound a little silly it is true even until today.  This idea worked and now the water industry is huge. What's even more amazing is that the water that these water bottle companies sell us is our own tap water. Even worse, all the used water bottles are then shipped in boats to India and dump all this plastic. The sad thing is that all the recycled water bottles end up in land fills; some end up being tosses in incinerators then releasing toxic chemicals into the atmosphere. The last thing is that making water bottles is very expensive and uses a lot of resources we could use for more important things.
