The War Against Bottled Water in Canada
November 17th, 2011
Bottled water has been an extremely popular concept in the world for decades now. People in the United States of America are obsessed with their bottled water and continue to purchase this product far more than they actually bother using their sinks at home. Bottled water has become a multi-billion dollar industry over the years, although some activists in certain countries have been fighting this trend for a long time now. Canadians are starting to wake up and smell the roses when it comes to looking at how bottled water affects their great and prosperous nation. They realize the dangers that this product has on their environment and want to do whatever they can to curb the amount of consumers who purchase bottled water.
Canadians have stated that the production of plastic which is required for bottled water is harmful to the environment. Since plastic is not biodegradable, it simply sits in landfills and continues to pollute the world. People in Canada are more environmentally conscious than in anywhere else in the world and it is for that reason that people there have begun to speak out. These activists are hoping that in the years to come, people will rely on bottled water less and less.
