Evidence:

1: The oil used to produce the water bottles for the US each year is 1.5 million barrels- enough to fuel about 100,000 US cars for a year.

2: Globally, 2.7 million tons of plastic are used to bottle water per year

3: 86% of plastic water bottles in the US become garbage or litter

The bottled water companies would have all of us believe that bottled water is the easiest and safest drinkable item to drink from and we use it daily work.

however, they are wrong because water bottles have BPA (bisphenol A) / toxic chemicals on them (not for babies) and it is not the safest, and why can we not use reusable bottles like our own water bottles.

"86% of plastic water bottles in the US become garbage or lifters". The expiration date on bottled water is for the bottles and it is the time were chemicals get activated, water itself is a natural thing that doesn't have expiration dates. the bottle emits toxic materials such as chlorine gas.

bottled water isn't a long-term substantial solution to securing access to healthy water. As we know that it has some toxic chemicals imagine how much effect it has on the environment and us as well. So, we should not use bottled water, because "60% of plastics come from the 4 largest countries and the US is one of them". In the world, there are already enough plastics so we should reduce the number of plastics. But when the US doesn't have a place to recycle it then they will ship it to China which makes other countries not safe for everyone too.

"1/2 of the water is unclean water." It could lead to health problems. Most countries don't have clean water, and they have health issues that can affect their education their life their work. "Poverty is one of the most effective problems, for those families who can't afford clean water", they have to drink dirty water which is caused by plastic populations. Plastic pollution can affect water quality to become lower and lower as plastics get more and more.

in conclusion, instead of bottled water at the KSD school board meeting, you might use something that is reusable and has fewer negative effects on you and our environment, so we could help to have a better life and better future...

sources where you could find more information about bottled water: Global water crises, Bottled water no safer than tap water, and Letter to Hero in story plastic. Also, you could use some YouTube videos which I had everything I needed, I didn't use one, but it might be a good source.

all around the world plastic water bottles are widespread and used by many people, except this poses a problem as these plastic water bottles often go unrecycled causing unnecessary waste and contributing to pollution with a whopping 2 million tons being in our landfills. On top of that, around 80 percent of water bottles end up in the landfills and even end up polluting the oceans damaging the Marine biology and their natural environments.

Not only do plastic cause problems as listed above, but many plastics used for these bottles contain an estrogenic compound known as PET or Polyethylene terephthalate as well as a more known, yet less used compound know as BPA. These chemicals release over time into oceans out of wasted bottles which can cause to toxins to be released and even cause problems with the humans drinking from them as these chemicals are known for being estrogen inducing. which can cause many health problems which could easily be avoided by simply getting rid of them and or lessening the production of them.

Based on the previous sections you can see my reasoning behind the initial claim i made not only will decreasing the production or getting rid of these plastic bottles aid the environment they will also lessen the exposure to harmful chemicals they may present and pave the way for more eco-friendly solutions.

A natural question asked would be about alternatives and to answer that i present the solution of purchasing metal water bottles, drinking from the tap, water fountains, or even boiling water if clean water is unavailable, and if you have none of these options finding yourself drinking from a water bottle make sure to recycle so that you don't contribute the landfill or oceanic pollution.

1. Evidence: 86% of water bottles in the US become garbage or litter

2. 2.7 million tons of plastic are used to make water bottles per year

3. king county solid waste shows us that the transportation of water affects our atmosphere because fossil fuels are being burned.

In conclusion an alternative to using plastic water bottles can be buying a reusable water bottle. A benefit of buying your own bottle is you can buy a special water bottle that can maintain you bottle cold. For example, at target you can buy a Stanley water bottle or a hydro flask.

Plastic bottles can cause harm to our planet because of how we ship Plastic bottles and how some people don't recycle their plastic bottles and could end up being thrown in rivers, oceans, and on the streets. If Plastic bottles end upgoing into our ocean, it causes harm to the fish or any other sea creature. Plastic Bottled waters can also be bad for us because the water where companies get water from can be contaminated with bacteria and make us get sick. Tap water is much safer for us and doesn't cause any harm to our planet. The good thing about Tap water is that we don't have to go anywhere to drink clean water, we can just go to our kitchen and drink water. Tap water is very good for us because tap water contains Floride, and Floride can help strengthen our teeth. Also, we can carry a water bottle with us and fill it up whenever we need to, but not a plastic water bottle, but a metal water bottle. A metal reusable water bottle can help our water maintain its coldness, for a long time. And even better these reusable water bottles don't end up being thrown outside and into oceans or rivers.

In conclusion, instead of bottled water at the KSD school board meetings, you should bring your own bottled water, not a plastic bottled water but a bottled water you can reuse, over and over.

Water Quality of Kent, WA

Like all other local municipalities in the US, Kent is required to make reports on their water quality and submit it to the EPA for public viewing.

In said reports, it is clear that Kent's water succeeds in keeping the chemicals in the water far below the maximum levels. Meaning, Kent is keeping the water very safe for consumption and usage.

Furthermore, counties in Washington are required to issue alerts for drinking water when the level of a contaminant or chemical is too dangerous for consumption via the Washington State Dept. of Heath. King County, and Kent by association, has never had one of these alerts since they began recording the alerts digitally in 2007, and they likely didn't have any alerts before this either.

The bottled water companies would have you believe that the bottle water is good for people and the earth however their wrong because Bottle water is made of plastic and the plastic harms the environment. Toxic compounds were found in the bottle water. Bottle water is unregulated. the companies refuse to recycle the bottle water. The unfortunate Circumstances is that bottle end up in the ocean. The landfill leads to other problems the chemicals it holds can build up and be a big problem for earth. Plastic affects the ocean life. The plastic goes to the top of the food chain. The plastic and food chain would be ruined. in conclusion instead of bottled water at ksd board meeting might you think about using reusable water to help the environment more. you could learn more about the bottled water, safety, and our environment you could watch the bottled documentary, unsafe water in use

The bottled water companies would believe that drinking from a water bottle is better than drinking from a cup. However, they are wrong because drinking from a water bottle and a cup will give you the same result. Drinking from a plastic water bottle is doing lots of damage to the Environment and our personal health for example.

Tap water is generally a better option, as it's just as safe as a bottle water but costs considerably less and has a much lower environmental impact. So its not harmful to the environment because it doesn't include plastic everywhere. we have 5.25 trillion of pieces of plastic and just imagine that in a couple of years if we continue to use water bottle when we can just get it for free. what if you were mother nature!!, Imagine if you were the earth?

On an document "Tapped" it has shown how much healthier tap water is, "tap water highly regulated, bottle water is not FDA only monitors product that go state to state (60%-70%) bottle water companies are not required to publics information, tap water is constantly tested (300-400) times a month". This shows how actually safer it is not only because it gets tested, but they let the people know the public how much safer it is. Water taste the same regardless water comes from the same place just put into water bottles.

Also in the video "The story of bottles water" shares how manufactured demand-how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows virtually free from the tap. but not everyone knows the reality from it, either they don't know or just don't want to know. "where oil is used to make water bottles. each year, making the plastic water bottle used in the US takes enough oil and energy to fuel million cars. All that energy spent to make the bottle even more to ship it around the planet and then we drink it in about 2 minutes?" and that brings us the problem because after these bottles are empty where do they go? will eighty percent end up in landfills where they can sit there for thousands of years, even in incinerators where they get burned releasing toxic pollution. and after send to India and pilled with mountain of plastic bottle from California. do you think that's okay that our people have to live with your plastic because you refuse to drink from tap water?

In conclusion, instead of bottled water at the KSD school board meeting, might you bring a reusable water bottle or if you don't have one go buy one, or even buy a water filter if you don't have one. water legislation.
