Rebecca's Issue #1 - MY MAIN PAGE! Smart Phones! PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES

Some good features of plastic water bottles are that they are easily transportable, inexpensive, transparent and shatter resistant.

Bad things are that these plastic water bottles are terrible for the environment and NOT bio-degradable, also chemicals used in the making of some plastic bottles are bad for your health. Inhaling the plastic at a factory is also really bad for factory workers, and it has been shown that the factory workers have a higher cancer rate than people who don't handle the plastics.

On top of that, in the US, bottled water and tap water are regulated by two different federal agencies. The FDA regulates the bottled water and the EPA regulates the tap water, and the tap water has less chemicals.

The cost of bottled water to tap water is also very extreme, bottled water often costs up $3 per bottles, while a similar volume of tap water costs less than one cent.
