                                         " Myth: Bottled Water is safe than Tap Water"

               Many people say that they buy bottled water because it taste better , is safer and because they believe tap water is unhealthy. The Manufactory Demand are scaring, seducing and misleading us to believe that bottled water is better than tap water because for them it is convinient. The companies of bottled water are getting rich selling billions of bottled water a year, and most of those plastic containers are not recycled, as a result we have all those plastic in decomposition for decades that cause polluent in our natural tap water.
               In my country I used to drink only tap water actually in my country ( Brazil) not many people buy bottled water because our tap water is clean and taste good. After I move to NY my husband use to tell me that i shouldn't drink water from the tap because it contains chlorine to mantain the water clean. All these years trying to avoid tap water I figure out that is not a problem drinking tap water we just need filled a big container and wait about 20 min for the chlorine to go down then we can drink it.
             People could do many things that could really help to make the population go back to tap water. The government should invest in public infrastruture, prevent pollution, drinking fountains and that water bottled boycott. I personally stoped buying "Poland Spring" water to delivered in my house and I saved $ 35.00 a month. I beleive I am doing my part on the society but I can't force people to do the same.
