The most interresting thing we have learnt is the creation of the bottled water industry and how its consumed our society. It's very interresting to learn that giant soft drink corporations get to use free tap water, filter it, and then sell it as bottled water. To the corporations this seems like a steal. While they rack up the profits we are left to deal with all the left over plastic bottles and the polution that is made from creating this bottles. It also shows how the giant corporations use scare tactics in their marketing, to try and make the public scared of tap water, when their is no reason to do so, their pretty much lying to the public to benefit themselfs, not caring about the environmental damage, i guess thats what happens in a capitalist society. This video and these images explain it all:
This video has made me change the way I use water. For one, no more bottled water, tap water is sometimes cleaner then bottled water anyways. worst case scenario buy a brita filter to further filter your tap water. This videa also gives many alternate options to bottled water, it helps our society see what changes we can make and how important it is to start making them as soon as possible. A real eye opener.
