The document discusses the impact of the bottled water industry on society and the environment. It notes that bottled water consumption has rapidly increased in recent years. However, bottled water is often just tap water with added minerals and is no safer than tap. The bottled water industry negatively impacts the environment through production, transportation, packaging and disposal of plastic bottles, which contributes to decreased groundwater levels and pollution of water bodies. It also uses large amounts of oil in production and releases greenhouse gases. Financially, bottled water costs consumers much more than tap water and the industry spends over $100 billion per year worldwide.

our aquifers and other water bodies,
due to which,
our ground water levels are
getting decreased

9. …in the year 2006, the Global consumption
of Bottled Water was…
…and this simply means that it
164,000,000,000 billions (liters) would have consumed nearly

90%
of plastic bottles, end up as garbage…

11. …according to environmental
think tank
Earth Policy Institute (EPI)…
1500
