WATER - Bottled or Tap?

Do you moan when your parents tell you to drink water from the tap? If so, then you need to read this!

Every year the British spend nearly 2 BILLION pounds on bottled water - even though they could get some that is just as healthy out of the tap! In shops, water often costs more than pure orange juice or milk! Which would you rather have?

Most important of all though, every time you open a bottle of water you are adding to the problems on our planet caused by plastic. It takes a lot of energy to make plastic, and if we recycle it, then it takes a lot of energy to collect it, clean and melt it, and then make it in to something else. I'm sure that you recycle YOUR bottles, but many people DON'T. Plastic bottles that get sent to landfill with the rubbish take 450 years to break down!

So now you have some good reasons to tell your family and friends not to buy bottled water!
