Debate: Ban Plastic Water Bottles
Side: Yes Emergencies Only

Water bottles, good or bad? Many people believe plastic water bottles to be good. But the truth is water bottles are polluting land and unnecessary. Plastic water bottles should only be used in emergency purposes only. The water in those plastic are only filtered tap water. In an emergency situation like Katrina no one had access to tap water. In a situation like this water bottles are good because it provides the people in need. Other than that water bottles should not be legal because it pollutes the land and big companies get 1000% of the profit.

In reality, bottled water is just water. That fact isn't stopping people from buying a lot of it. Estimates variously place worldwide bottled water sales at between $50 and $100 billion each year, with the market expanding at the startling annual rate of 7 percent. Bottled water is big business. But in terms of sustainability, bottled water is a dry well. It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems. Bottled water manufacturers’ encourage the perception that their products are purer and safer than tap water. Bottled water can cost up to 10,000 times more per gallon than tap water. But the reality is that tap water is actually held to more stringent quality standards than bottled water, and some brands of bottled water are just tap water in disguise. Approximately 1.5 million barrels of oil—enough to run 100,000 cars for a whole year—are used to make plastic water bottles, while transporting these bottles burns even more oil. The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles. Nearly 90 percent of water bottles are not recycled and wind up in landfills where it takes thousands of years for the plastic to decompose. The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe. When calculating your carbon footprint, you might want to consider the carbon footprint of the bottled water you drink. Next time you pick up a bottle of Fiji Water, think about the distance the bottle and the water have traveled before it hits your lips.

Water should only be saved and used for emergencies. If an earthquake, hurricane, winter storm or other disaster strikes your community, you might not have access to water for days, or even weeks. So when there is an emergency you would want bottle water. So the bottled water that everyone thinks is better and healthier than tap water is not even true. So like in reality, bottled water is just water. There's very little evidence that suggests bottled water is any cleaner or better for you than its tap equivalent. So like you should save the bottled water for and emergency and drink tap water instead of waiting until there is actually something wrong and tap water is unavailable or gross and polluted. Some people are worried about if their tap water is harmful and they would like filtered water but most bottle water is tap water and there are bottles that are sold that have a filter in the bottle that filters it the same way a filter would filter the other water. Or you can buy a pitcher that filters the tap water and there are filters that go right on to your sink so the water that comes out of your faucet will be filtered. So there are other options that can be bought that can filter your water and you can use tap water instead of using bottled water. Also when you buy bottled water and you throw away the bottle instead of recycling it you are harming the environment. Over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away. Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year.

Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks — and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink.

Americans spend billions on bottled water every year. Banning their sale would greatly hurt an already struggling economy. In addition to the actual sale of water bottles, the plastics that they are made out of, and the advertising on both the bottles and packaging are also big business. In addition to this, compostable waters bottle are also coming onto the market, these can be used instead of plastics to eliminate that detriment. Moreover, bottled water not only has a cleaner safety record than municipal water, but it easier to trace when a potential health risk does occur.(http://www.friendsjournal.org/bottled-water) (http://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/drinking/bottled/)

I don’t think we should ban water bottles because it would drastically affect our economy. Our economy is already bad enough and banning water bottles won’t do anything besides make it worse. Bottled water is the single largest growth area among all beverages. As of December 2011, our unemployment rate was 8.5%. Banning water bottles would put millions of people under unemployment because of all the factories that would be shut down. Just 10 years ago the unemployment rate was 4.8%, so to ban water bottles at this point in time would be risky because we are already at a high rate of unemployment. I also believe that water bottles wouldn’t have as much of an effect if people didn’t abuse them. If we learn to reuse them and recycle them whenever possible, we could reduce the amount of plastic water bottles we use. As Americans we buy an average of 34.6 billion water bottles annually, but that number could be improved if we provide education about proper use. We don’t need to ban water bottles; we just need to regulate our use of them. http://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=z1ebjpgk2654c1_&met_y=unemployment_rate&tdim=true&fdim_y=seasonality:S&dl=en&hl=en&q=what+is+the+current+unemployment+rate+in+the+us http://www.container-recycling.org/facts/plastic/bottledwater.htm

In order for the U.S economy to thrive we need to have a budget deficit that will not be overwhelming high. The main source of lowering the percentage of direct tax on the people is the production and selling of bottled water. Not only will our debt as a whole will increase but so would the unemployment throughout the U.S. As of right now the employment percentage has falling 8.3% since January. With 12.8 million people still remaining unemployed just about 43% of them for more than six months, and that another 8.2 million part-time workers couldn’t find full-time employment. These statistics read what the unemployment is like without removing the manufactures of water bottle production. It is said if the production of water bottles is recalled the unemployment rate could double.

When you add sugar in your coffee or tea, it gets even worse: every teaspoonful of sugar requires 50 cups of water to grow. A glass of beer takes 75 litres of water to produce, while just one glass of wine asks 120 litres of water. One glass of fruit juice or milk requires 170 to 200 litres of water.

Bottled Water many people think that it is the way to go. But really in all actuality it is negative to our world. Many people think that bottled water is safer to drink than tap water from your faucet from home, but it isn’t. Because seventy percent of all bottled water does not cross state lines, thus is exempt from FDA oversight. But without the FDA not regulating the water bottle industry who knows minerals are in the water or chemicals are in the plastic, things that could harm the world’s population. Secondly, Bottled water contributes up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year, waste that is not biodegradable, waste that sits in landfills for years and years that do not go anywhere. Plus it requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to create all these water bottles, which is very harmful to human consumption. Current bound plastic trash spins endlessly in the world’s oceans and proposes a threat to marine and bird wildlife, and human life. We need to take action if we want to overcome the water bottling industry. http://www.mnn.com/food/healthy-eating/stories/5-reasons-not-to-drink-bottled-water

"In 2006, the Alliance for a Healthier Generation and the American Beverage Association worked together to develop a set of National School Beverage Guidelines. This was prepared to reduce the calories delivered to schools by beverage companies and in return promote healthier school choices for children. The articles illustrate the program and significant results thus far. Since its inception there has been a 58% cut in total calories contained in all beverages shipped to schools. Further, a survey was taken of parents, pediatricians and family physicians. The highest supported choice for each group was bottled water." (http://www.nikawater.org/bottled-water/ )
