Blog 13

  1. Compose a multi-paragraph 250+ word blog entry on ONE myth about water consumption by doing the following:
  • Quote the myth
  • In your own words, restate the most convincing arguments against this myth. 
  • Connect at least one of the arguments to your personal experience with an example.
  • Explain what YOU may be able to do to help debunk this myth further.
         According to the passage "The story of the bottled water", The Myth is Bottled water is convenient. The reality is we can find free drinking water anywhere, such as, school, park, office and even when you home.  Disposal of plastics is not easy and inconvenient. More convenient is you buy a reusable bottle and filling it from the public sources instead of buying bottled water. The leading organizations suggest to use a stainless steel or lined aluminum as sturdiest and safest.
        When the Myth think: "Bottled water is continent." I am not so sure that myth is correct. It could be also that We can find the drinking water anywhere in the public. or you don't have to pay and you can drink whatever you want.
        From my experience, I have the same experience many times. I think the public water is much convenient than the bottled water. When i in school i always bring my own bottle to refill the water from the school tap. It is very convenient for me because i have many class during the day and i really like to drink the water. I don't have too much time to go out to by the bottled water between class to class. I have to find the class because they are not pretty close sometimes and also i need to use the bathroom during the class. For me the running water from the tap everywhere in school are very convenient for me even i don't have time to refill it but also i can drink it. Therefore, I find the myth think "bottled water is convenient" that hard to believe because my own experience.
        Starting from myself, i will drinking tap water instead of bottle water and then, i will tell my friends and my family that doesn't have different and the tap water is healthy and more "green" than the bottle water.
