36. Water: Bottled vs. Tapped Taste Safety Environment Myth vs. Truth Cost

37. ISB Blind Taste Test

38. True or False? All bottled water comes from clean pristine rivers that flow down mountains.

39. False 40% of bottled water is actually tap water. Desani (from Coca Cola) Aquafina (from Pepsi) Both are tap water!!

40. What about our water? It’s filtered tap water.

41. Safety The bottle is actually dangerous. Bisphenol A (BPA), found in many plastic bottles and water coolers contains estrogens. Estrogens are female hormones and has been linked to breast and ovarian cancers and childhood developmental problems. Phthalates, which are known to disrupt testosterone and other hormones, can leach into bottled water over time. ISB reusable bottles are BPA & Phthalates free.

42. Environment:a nightmare from beginning to end Bottled water causes over 60 million plastic bottles to be produced, filled, transported and disposed of "every day" in America. That’s just in USA. Less than 20% of bottles get recycled. It takes 3 times as much water to produce the bottle as it does to fill it.

43. Cost 1 ISB bottle = 350 baht 1 Crystal each day for the year = 3660 baht 183 school days / year 20 baht/Crystal bottle 20 x 183 = 3660

44. Water changes at ISB 2 new water dispensers at the gym and cafeteria for you to refill your own water bottle. Bookstore sells water bag & bottles for 350 baht. BPA FREE Phthalates Free Crystal water will double from 10 baht to 20 baht.
