Why Do People Buy And Drink Bottled Water

1. DHMO is actually ordinary H20. So there are no effects of ingesting it. Unless like it says “accidental inhalation of its liquid form” then that may result in drowning. 2. Two chemical issues that DHMO is alleged to are acid rain and accelerates rusting of many metals. 3. DHMO is H20. Commonly called water. 4. Bob Becker wrote this article in an ordinary newspaper style to trick people that it is a newspaper article. He is trying to scare people and show them what the media can do. 5. People buy and drink bottled water because it was said to be a more purer and healthier but in fact a lot of it is not healthier. 6. People should not buy or drink bottled water for a few reasons, the fact that bottled water is not at all cleaner that tap water in fact sometimes dirtier that tap water, the bottles are causing many problems to the world (pollution), the taste is supposedly better and 25% of bottled water is tap water.
7.
The bottles being discarded by the consumers are damaging the environment. 89 billion liters of water is being bottled each year, besides the number of bottles required to bottle this volume of water, the energy to transport this world wide is a problem in its self. 8. Spring water comes from springs and purified water is “better filtered tap water” 9. Tap water is considered to have the best purity and is the best cost efficient due to the EPA. They have strict standards and only regulate tap water not bottled water means that it is more pure. I would agree with this article. 10.

RuindSandy/wikianswers, Year?, WikiAnswers, 14/03/2013, http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_does_a_desalination_plant_work 13. Seawater is forced through a semi-permeable membrane, which removes all of the dissolved solids and produces fresh, potable water on the other side. The High Pressure Pump supplies the required force to drive the feed water through the semi-permeable Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) Membrane. The fresh water produced flows out of the Reverse Osmosis Membrane where it is up to 99.2% free of salts, minerals, and other ions. It then passes into the Product Flow Meter where the amount of potable water produced per minute is registered. 14. I think that making a desalination plant would be a good idea since Australia does need as much water as possible due to its harsh sun. but on the other hand, it may be worse, with all the fossil fuels being used and all the gases coming out, it may just cause the sun to be worse.
