It's not consumer driven. It was created and people bought it because of your ads. It's not health, bottled water is linked to cancer. If your water is regulated as good as tap, then they're chlorine in that too. And why pay for water when you can bottle it yourself at home. It cost oil to make plastic which is already bad for the environment. You didn't even think of the bad things about bottled water and made this PSA. This show's little research in your work. tsk tsk.

Bottled water does not cause cancer. This is an urban myth -- check it out: lots of website dispel this myth, snopes.com for one. Plus, bottled water is just one of thousands of products packaged in plastic. Why single out one product, that in the big picture, is a tiny sliver of what's out there. Please check out our other videos "packaged in plastic" and "how safe is bottled water".

*WAKE UP PEOPLE* In the US tap water falls under the EPAs mandate whereas bottled water, being classified as a food, falls under the authority of the Food & Drug Administration which has weak regulations. Drinking bottled water means that the company supplying that water has less regulation and the ability to cut corners. *WAKE UP PEOPLE* Visit my channel

NEWS FLASH direct from the FDA website - "Section 410 requires that bottled water be subject to requirements no less protective of the public health than those applicable to water from public water systems using the techniques required by EPA's NPDWRs" (This means that bottled must be at least equally regulated as tap).

why pay ridicoulous prices for something you can gte for free i dont get it

[ruadriob]

What a ridiculous video.. This has no solid foundation, it contradicts and does not put forward a confident argument about environmental issues.

If you don't like chlorine leave a glass of water alone for about 10 minutes, the chlorine dissipates.

I esp laugh at the crappy bit in this video "Think of all the calories we've kept off, is good, no?"

The it's said sounds coercive.. like a shady criminal

If industry knows there are environmental issues that need addressing, why then are big name players e.g. Coca Cola refusing to and actively trying to shut down a 10 cent container deposit system in Australia. Seems a little hypocritical right? Big business is interested in one thing, PROFIT. If those companies were proud of the fact they are 'keeping down obesity rates, reducing calories and preventing diabetes' then they would stop selling the sugar drinks. Talk about a budget production.

Why single out one product? Because it's so ridiculously easy to fill a resuable bottle with water, it's pathetic to buy something wrapped in plastic that's at least one hundred times as expensive. That's why.

bottled water is just a bussines for petrol, is just about consumin more petrol and that is just harmfull for nature, water is always the same, just water

Or we could effortlessly get rid of the need for recycling bottles of water by not wasting our money on a commodity that is free and reproducible. Using tap water and buying filters that purifies and gets rid of chlorine, gives you perpetually reproducible free water with the same taste as bottled water. In sum, the bottled water industry is nothing more than a waste of money and an unnecessary harm to the environment. The internet is your friend, Do research.

thats a bunck of bull shit

[Greg Meyer]

It's true that water is a better choice than other sugary drinks, but the point is that specifically, bottled water is an incredibly wasteful, industry driven product. If we can get rid of plastic packaging one item at a time, we will be doing a better job for the environment and our resources. Recycling is a LAST EFFORT measure. This youtube channel is pure propaganda (and not even well done propaganda at that) obviously paid for and created by the industry.

Well said Anizerda. The International Bottled Water Association produces these pieces of propoganda under the 'Non-profits & Activism' category within Youtube. 'Non profit'! the bottled water industry has been fleecing us for years. And I certainly won't take advice from a piece of blue chewing gum high on helium gas!

Respond to this video... The only pro of water bottles is that it is convenient. It is an easy grab, instead of packing your own bottle; which is the only reason why it is still being bought by people today. If there was a way to be able to store water as portable as plastic bottled water, then bottled water is useless.
