A Fountain on Every Corner I think that plastic bottles are a waste and can pollute the city without care. I agree that public faucets are equally filthy compared to drinking water that comes in plastic, factory sealed. I see that most town’s especially New York City agreed on tap waters than plastic water bottles. It says on the article that New York City spent $700,000 on a campaign reminding New Yorkers that their tap water is tasty and affordable. I myself agreed on that since I tasted different kinds of waters and tap water is one of the best. In my opinion, most people are in a rush especially in the morning heading to work; grab- and –go society it says by Elizabeth Royte. Because of this, they do not have the time to stand up and go to a bubbler and drink fresh, clean water. Most of the societies nowadays are too busy and sometimes, they do not care if they drink from a plastic water bottle or bubbling water, as long as it is water, they will drink it. A good quote from the article is “It’s not so easy, walking down Third Avenue on a hot day, to get a glass of tap water.” It expresses how people are slacking. However, to those people who live in suburbs have no time to go to the supermarket to buy pack of plastic water bottles, so they have no choice but to drink tap water. Finally, I agree that bubbling water is clean. Bubbling water is sometimes called Cloudy water. It is filled with air inside but it is harmless so there is nothing to worry about it. In conclusion, I myself would rather pick tap water and bubbling water than plastic water

    There are many debates, papers and articles going back and forth saying that one is better than the other and so on and so forth. One person will say ,”that bottled water is better” and another will say,” no way tap is better.” Almost like the on going argument that went on in Bobby Bushay’s head in the movie Water Boy where he was saying H2O is better than Gatorade. But when it truly comes down to it tap water is really the winner. It’s better than bottled water in many ways in general. Firstly it costs a whole lot less than bottled water, secondly because most of the time bottle water is that same as tap, and lastly it does not make landfills bigger unlike bottled water.…

    There are articles, flyers, and even books out in the market that try to persuade people to either use bottled water or tap water. While many believe that tap water is more beneficial to the body, others believe that the convenience and advertising of purified bottled water is acceptable enough for themselves. As we consume water, we concern ourselves with issues such as if it is harmful to the environment, if it is harmful to our health and whether the product is convenient for us. Ultimately, the choice is personal because both sides provide pros and cons to these issues.…

    I’ve always preferred bottled water to tap water because of the taste. Bottled water always tasted fresher and cleaner. According to document 2 it states, “Once the water enters the bottled water plant several processes are employed to ensure that it meets the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) purified water standard.” This shows that even though it tastes clean, it goes through many processes so it can meet the potential of the FDA. Unlike tap water, bottled water does not contain any chlorine. In document 1, the chart shown says tap water contains chlorine and often times fluoride. Bottled water does not have any of this, making it the safer option to drink. Although it is more expensive than tap water, it is definitely worth drinking…

    Bottled water is no safer than tap. There are actually more regulations when it comes to tap water, rather than bottled water. According to an article by ABC News, "there are more standards regulating tap water in Europe and the United States than those applied to the bottled water industry." Tap water is safer than bottled water because it is more regulated. Also, tap water doesn’t sit on a shelf for months, with the water in plastic. Chemicals found in plastic have been known to cause cancer. Tap water is more regulated and has fewer health risks. Tap water is much better than bottled water, because of its regulation and lack of harmful…

    The sun rises high above the hot and humid park. My friends were having a soccer tournament that day. I was so thirsty. We had to go back to my car for more water. I had run out of water half an hour ago, and my cousins were out or running dangerously low on the potion of life. The 98-degree soccer field had absorbed the fluids from my body like a grape dehydrator to make raisins. We finally reached my car. I quickly reach for the trunk of the car reached into the cooler, and I grabbed a bottle of water. I cracked the seal, threw my head back, and gradually chugged two-third of the bottle. So refreshing I thought to my self as I began throwing bottles of water to my cousin Sara and San. I was used to drinking bottled water when I was out enjoying an event at a park. I finish the bottle and put it into a recycling trash bag.…
