2. Health Aspect  Our Bodies are 80% water, being hydrated is a matter of life and death.  People assume bottles water is healthier, but 25 percent or more of bottled water is really just tap water in a bottle  When water is stored in hot or warm temperatures, or used over a long period of time, plastic leaches chemicals into your water accourding to scientists.  BPA – Bisphenol A or BPA an estrogen-mimicking chemical linked to serious health issues including:  Learning and behavioral problems and Altered immune system function  Early puberty in girls and fertility problems, Diabetes and obesity  Decreased sperm count, as well as Prostate and breast cancer  Phthalates -- are widely used in the United States to make plastics and are endocrine- disrupting chemicals linked to a wide range of developmental and reproductive effects  Alternative - Tansport filtered water from home to ensure a safe supply on the go. Using a glass or steel bottle instead will bypass the risks associated with carrying water in plastic.

3. Environmental Impact  Production of bottled water wastes fossil fuels.  It takes three units of tap water to produce one unit of bottled water.  Most of the plastic bottles are not recycled and end up in landfills and bodies of water.  The PET plastic, used to make the bottles, photodegrades.

4. Financial Impact < Average number of plastic bottles used per person annually in the U.S. -- 167 < Annual spending on bottled water in the U.S. --- $11.8 billion < Total number of bottles sold annually --- 30 billion < Total number of cases of water sold in the U.S. annually -- 2.6 billion < Global sales revenue from bottled water --- $60 billion < Average cost of one bottle of water -- $1.45 < Total cost of monthly water bills if tap water cost the same as the cheapest water bottle -- $9,000

5. Great Taste Less Waste  Bottled water is by far the most expensive way to get your H20  Filters (most refrigerators have one available, faucet mounted filters)  Stainless Steel containers  Glass Containers
