We are hearing
more and more about the problems and demerits of plastic water
bottles. Perhaps the time has come to really re-think this issue.
Thankyou again. I am sure your students gained much from your
presentation on the subject.<br/><br/>

I stopped using plastic water bottles all together - they pose a huge environmental burden and it has been shown that plastic is not good for one's health.  Unfortunately, when water bottles are being transported to the shops where they will be sold, they often get hot, which causes chemicals in the plastic bottles to leach into the water before you've even bought your bottle of water.  I used to like the convenience of bottled water, too, but now I feel so much better using my stainless steel water bottle - it's just as convenient and I'm not harming the environment or my health in the process.  

There was a great PowerPoint presentation that I showed my students last year about the problems of plastic water bottles, and many other teachers showed it to their students, too.  It's resulted in many, many students carrying stainless steel water bottles instead of plastic ones. I think your article will serve a similar purpose to make others think twice about buying bottled water.  After all, it's really just as convenient to re-fill your stainless steel water bottle with cold tap water.<br/><br/>

be;  But, again, times have changed, everyone appears to be in a rush,
wanting things instantly,  we always have access to bottled water, and
it is a conveniene to go into practically any store and walk out with a 
bottle of water. People can't be bothered to check this water out, 
it's conveninetnly there, and that's good enough....in a lot of cases.<br/><br/>
