Essay by Greek • June 5, 2011 • Study Guide • 270 Words (2 Pages) • 1,920 Views
Hi my name is Jenny. I live at... wait I'm not telling you where I live you could be a complete stranger and trying to stalk me so I will refuse to tell you where I live. I have been reading up on a few different things and I have decided to complete the following challenge.
I will only drink tap water for two weeks. I will replace all my drinks with water from a TAP. And so I reduce my use of plastic bottles, unnecessary for the environment.
So I have decided to include some facts about bottled water to make you want to attempt my challenge.
- Tap Water is, on average, 500 times cheaper than bottled water.
- The largest consumer markets for bottled water is United States, Mexico, China and Brazil
- 40% of bottled water is actually just taken from tap water
- 17 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL ARE USED IN THE PRODUCTION OF WATER BOTTLES YEARLY...THIS IS ENOUGH TO FUEL 1 MILLION CARS FOR A YEAR!!!
- Annually, Americans consume 8.6 billion gallons of bottled water
So I think this is enough from me. Really this was just a pointless exercise so that I can read something that seems fairly interesting on here and maybe it will help me in my studies!!. Over and out from me!!! Goodbye until next time we meet again which I hope will be soon as I will write something in a more proper state of mind.
I love you all and I hope you enjoyed the past 5 minutes of your life I just took making you read all of this crap.
Love Jenny
p.s. Thanks for the support
