Bottled Water Effects on health, environment and personal finances

Health

Clean, affordabledrinking water is essential to the health of our global community.

Page 3: Bottled water

Health

Studies show that consumers associate bottled water with

healthy living.

Page 4: Bottled water

Health The truth is: Bottled water is not guaranteed to be any healthier than tap water!

Page 5: Bottled water

Health

In fact, roughly 40 percent of bottled water begins as tap water. Often the only difference is added minerals that have no marked health benefit.

The added minerals are helpful in small amounts but may be

dangerous in higher doses.

Page 6: Bottled water

CostAlthough in the industrial world

bottled water is often no healthier than tap water, it can cost up to

10,000 times more!

Page 7: Bottled water

Health

The most commonly used plastic for making water bottles is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is derived from crude oil.

Page 8: Bottled water

Cost Just in Europe

Just in Europe 52,000,000,000 liters of PET bottled water were produced in 2004, using more than 35,000,000 barrels of oil, enough to fuel more than 2 million cars for a year!

Environment

In contrast to tap water, which is distributed through an energy-efficient infrastructure, transporting bottled water long distances involves creating unnecessary garbage and consuming vast quantities of energy by burning massive quantities of fossil fuels.

Page 10: Bottled water

Environment

To meet worldwide bottled water demand, 2.7 million tons of plastic are used each year.

Page 11: Bottled water

Environment

An astonishing 86 % of these bottles become garbage or litter!*

Environment San Gabriel River, Los Angeles

Page 13: Bottled water

Environment

Buried water bottles can take up to 1,000 years

to biodegrade!

Page 14: Bottled water

EnvironmentIn addition to the strains bottled water puts on our ecosystem through its production and transport, the rapid growth in this industry means that communities where bottling plants are located apply water extraction

Page 15: Bottled water

Environment

Concentrated water extraction makes water tables in these communities drop quickly hence farmers, fishers, and others who depend on water for their livelihoods suffer greatly as a result!

Page 16: Bottled water

Environment

Unfortunately, in a number of places, including Europe and the United States, there are more regulations governing the quality of tap water than bottled water.

Page 17: Bottled water

Environment In summary, tap water

is health–friendly as : 1. It is s not stored in (PET) bottles, made

of plastic derived from crude oil.

2. The minerals added to bottled water may be dangerous in higher doses.

3. Doesn’t require burning massive quantities of fossil fuels polluting the air we breath and taking 1000 years to biodegrade.

Page 18: Bottled water

Environment

Tap water is environment –friendly as it:

1. Doesn’t use up tons of energy

2. Doesn’t create unnecessary garbage

3. ...is distributed through an energy-efficient infrastructure.

Page 19: Bottled water

Environment

In summary, tap water is finance–friendly as it:

1. Can cost up to 10,000 times less then bottled water!

2. Saves you money and lets you spend it on other useful stuff.

Page 20: Bottled water

Health

OK, I am convinced now, but how clean is the tap water?

Page 21: Bottled water

Health

Since tap water is not the same quality everywhere and may contain impurities, filtering tap water is generally recommended .

Page 22: Bottled water

Solution Aquarion is a water filtering device that goes a step further and lets you consume clean, ionized alkaline water , filtered from impurities and toxins, such as heavy metals, chlorine and pesticides.

Page 23: Bottled water

Health

Remember that while minerals added to bottled water often have no marked health benefit and may be dangerous in higher doses,ionized alkaline water may restore healthy (pH) balance, that food additives, medications and foods itself may shift in the

body towards the acidic.

Page 24: Bottled water

Cost

Also keep in mind that bottled water, in addition to damaging the environment, can cost up to 10,000 times more then tap water!

Page 25: Bottled water

Health

If a family of four spends 40 euros a month on bottled water, this amounts to 500 euros a year.

When you invest into Aquarion water filter and ionizer, it takes only three years for your investment to pay off .

Page 26: Bottled water

Health

From that day on you are drinking the best drinking water for free!

....and saving 1400 PET bottles a year!

...out of which 86% would end up as garbage polluting our planet!

Page 27: Bottled water

Cost

But that’s not all! When you share this health and environment oriented philosophy with your neighbor and he comes on board, you are already in business to pocket some really cool profits!

Let’s calculate...

Page 28: Bottled water

Cost

One neighbor - 500 Euros a year Five neighbors - 2500 Euros a year

...while saving 8400 PET bottlesa year... Now isn’t that cool? : )
