I could write a hundred posts about plastic water bottles, and plastic drinks bottles. I could write so much about Coca-Cola and others taking water from public sources and selling it back to the local population as sugary drinks; stealing not only their water but also their health. And of course, not cleaning up the absolute mess of pollution left behind on beaches, in rivers and in landfill. ππ₯π₯ ππ¨π§π π₯ππ ππ₯π₯π².β£β£β£β£

I donβt drink soft drinks, and I drink tap water unless I live in a country where this is not possible.β£β£β£β£

It is not a black-and-white issue of use or avoid. In some countries, people donβt have access to safe tap water. So who am I to tell them to stop buying water in plastic bottles!β£β£β£β£

Although, in some countries like Myanmar, the locals use traditional ceramic clay water filters. This method can be found in many countries around the world. Follow the tagged accounts for more information.β£β£β£β£

Letβs focus on the places where people have the choice, because here in France, for example, I see people loading large packs of bottled water into their trolley every day.β£β£β£β£
β£β£β£β£
And THIS I donβt get. Tap water in France is potable.β£β£β£β£

Whatβs more, a 2018 study released by Orb Media estimated that on average, a litre of bottled water from big brands like Dasani, Aquafina, and Nestle, contains roughly 10.4 plastic particles.β£β£β£β£

Wash BPA bottles in very hot water, because this encourages the chemicals to release at a staggering 55 times faster β£β£β£β£

Donβt reuse a PET plastic bottle indefinitely- the chemicals leach into the water if you leave your bottle out in the sun and disrupt hormones linked to fertility.β£β£β£β£
β£β£β£β£
IF youβre reusing a normal plastic bottle, or any other bottle, YOU MUST WASH THEM after use, so that bacteria doesnβt build up inside.β£β£β£β£
