M5.5: Campaign for tap water
I really appreciated the bottled water video in showing how safe it is to drink tap water and that bottled water is just marketed to seem cleaner. Back in elementary and middle school, everyone around me was drinking Arrowhead bottled water but I thought their water tasted nasty! I didn't understand why so many people would buy that brand. Back then it was definitely not cool to be carrying a reusable water bottle. My parents and I had moved to the states around that time and because we didn't have a car, we couldn't buy big packs of bottled waters so they just bought a few at a time for me and I would refill the bottles with tap water. I felt totally lame back then but I'm glad it turned out that way! My campaign slogan would be "bring back clean tasty tap water!"

I know what you mean about everyone drinking Arrowhead like it's the cool thing to do, but really it just tastes like plastic. The tap water in my town always had higher amounts of cadmium and other metals in it so it wasn't recommended to drink it, unless you had one of those Brita filters (which didn't come out until I was a teenager pretty much)... I love how now, reusing fancy bottles is what most people are doing and I'm dang proud to be a part of that population!
ReplyDeleteI don't like bottled water either, it tastes funny to me too! Of course I'll drink it if there's nothing else and I need to hydrate, but I'm also on the fancy water bottle train and I love it!
