  • 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.

  • @Anizerda1st 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

  • @thebestalkalinewater 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

  • 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

see all

  • @Anizerda1st thats a bunck of bull shit

  • @BottledWaterMatters 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.

  • @BottledWaterMatters So random sites that are created by unknown people say that bottledwater is good, and you believe that? What about all the LEGIT research? So apparently all scientists are lying and the creator of those sites are correct. Plastic bottles are made from oil and fossil fuels and it takes many years to degrade. This already tells you that it's not a natural product. Basically, you're saying that scientists are wrong and bottled water plastic isnt related to cancer...
