2. How safe is the water we
drink?
• Water supply to cities, although purified, can
contain bacteria and other biological life forms
that can result in stomach related disorders.
• Additionally, the water storage (overhead tanks,
etc) may not be cleaned regularly, increasing the
chances of bacterial presence.
• This is not just at home, but also at restaurants
we eat out at.

4. Certainly Not Bottled
Water...!!
• Bottled water is the most obvious solution due to its
accessibility.
• However:
• Bottling plants do not use BPA free plastic when
manufacturing these bottles. BPA is a toxin that is released
into the contents of the bottle with exposure to heat.
• Apart from health threats, disposal of these bottles poses a
threat to the environment.
• Almost all of these bottles eventually end up in the trash,
hence in landfills or at the bottom of the ocean, causing
plenty of ecological damage and are an eyesore.
