Learn the Facts About bottled water
[h2]Learn the Facts[/h2]
Here are just a few reasons why you should be concerned about bottled water waste.
- It takes an estimated three litres of water to produce one litre of bottled water.(1)
- Worldwide, an estimated 2.4 million metric tonnes of plastic are used to bottle water each year.(2)
Ditching bottled water helps you ‘go green’ and save green.
- Despite the cost, most recent stats reveal that 30 percent of all Canadian households primarily drink bottled water.(3)
- Hydration at its best - carry the water you need and reduce your impact on the environment – one reusable FilterForGood bottle can last for decades, making it easy to stop buying single-serve bottled water to fulfill your everyday hydration needs.
Just because it’s bottled doesn’t mean it is higher quality or tastes better.
- Two multinational bottled water producers use municipal water from Vancouver, Mississauga, Brampton and Calgary for their brands.(4)
- In Canada, the responsibility for ensuring drinking water supplies are safe is shared between the provincial, territorial, federal and municipal governments, with Health Canada taking a leadership role.(6) The City of Toronto, for example tests its drinking water for the absence of bacteria every four to six hours.(7)
U can do your part by adding a drinking kit to your current ro or ro/di system and use that water for drinking and also cooking!!!!!!
