Because bottled water consumes energy, pollutes the environment and other reasons, this year the United States set off an upsurge against bottled water. The United States "New York Times" published a series of reports accusing the bottled water of the dual "blood debt" of consuming oil and polluting the environment. It ranked bottled water as the number one "public enemy" and called on Americans to abandon bottled water and drink tap water.
In the U.S. alone, 4 billion gallons of bottled water are consumed each year. The manufacture of these plastic packages consumes 1.5 million barrels of oil each year. About 95 billion empty bottles are filled every year, causing serious environmental pollution. The tremendous waste and pollution caused by bottled water is shocking and it is time to be boycotted. However, it is worth considering that bottled water in the United States has become a "public enemy"?
In my opinion, apart from the fact that bottled water is not environmentally friendly and economical, it is obviously related to the strong environmental awareness of American citizens. In this boycott campaign, senior government officials went down to the common people and restaurant operators to give support and response. New York City Mayor, Newtham, banned government officials from using financial funds to buy bottled water last month; New York City also launched a million person campaign calling on residents to use the city’s famous public water sources; Mayor of Salt Lake City asked officials Bottled water must not be provided in government meetings. In Europe, many restaurants in Italy begin to provide guests with clean water from the kitchen faucets. It is this enthusiasm for the high level of participation of the entire society that has infused tremendous energy into the US environmental protection cause, and has made those products that are highly polluting and energy-consuming a "public enemies of the people."
Of course, the reason why bottled water encounters “Waterloo†in the United States is also related to the government’s high attention and strong investment in the health of residents’ drinking water. The United States has almost the world's most complete water supply system. Each year, the government has invested US$277 billion in maintaining good tap water quality. The tap water in the United States is even more rigorously tested than bottled water. The tap water in big cities must undergo at least 100 tests for bacteria content every month, but the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) only requires bottled water production companies to Test once. The government's high investment and strict control ensured the quality of drinking water in the United States. Tap water can be brought directly to drinking without adversely affecting human health. One-fourth of the bottled water in the US market is even made from water in public reservoirs. Even PepsiCo and Coca Cola use tap water to produce bottled water. This provides the conditions for people to replace bottled water with tap water.
This "contention of environmental protection" around the US bottled aquaculture sounded the alarm for us. Today, China is the world’s third largest consumer of bottled water. Data show that China’s bottled water market is growing at an annual rate of nearly 30%. By 2010, the Chinese will consume 10 million tons of mineral water a year, which is equivalent to US consumption. 60% of the energy consumption and pollution that come with it are issues that we cannot avoid. What is even more worrying is that many of the world's abandoned plastic beverage bottles have been sent to China for disposal. These pose great risks to our living environment and also lay hidden dangers for our country's sustainable development strategy. Therefore, while reducing the import of “foreign garbageâ€, we can refer to foreign practices, increase government investment in drinking water for residents, improve the quality of tap water, advocate people to minimize the consumption of bottled water, and develop more environmentally friendly products. Drinking water packaging.
