Water Immersion with Mr Meikle

"Oh, yuck!" I could only hear this all around me as we were tasting water. We were in Room 16 with Mr Meikle today. Our job was to taste water and decide which was the bottled water. I tasted option B. Little droplets trickled down my throat and dripped from the roof of my mouth. I gagged. It tasted HORRIBLE! On the other hand, option B tasted more fresh and cool.

But option B was actually the oil-dripping, non-eco friendly option that took 7 million barrels of oil a year to create. And people don't even recycle them!

Did you know?

• Bottled water costs 2,000 times the amount that tap water costs?
• 30% of bottled water in the USA actually is just tap water?
• Bottles just go to landfill or are shipped across the world, which uses even more oil?
• Bottles are made of oil, which is non-sustainable?

So next time you're about to buy a bottle of water, think again!
