The success of bottled water companies: a secret filter ... Tap??
Perhaps soon have to pay for air, it seems that we are already doing with water: large companies cheat consumers when promoting bottled water is the same as running the tap, denounce U.S. NGOs
"When you buy bottled water, pay hundreds, if not thousands of times more than their cost, and pay for access to the tap runs already," he told RT Erian Diaz, the NGO Anti-smoking 'Corporate Accountability International', stressing it is simply filtered water by companies rather than by the consumer at home.
Companies are making millions of dollars by selling this product even more expensive than gas
To attract more and more consumers are turning to large advertising companies involving celebrities that make your product more attractive to the consumer. "People are like children. When viewing a advertising design, want to have it because they see a beautiful person in the river or down the mountain," says Irena Salina, director of 'Flow, for love of water'. "We are all fools, basically," he adds.
Some experts argue that it is a common misconception that bottled water is purer and safer than tap water. Mae Wu, Council for the Protection of Natural Resources (NRDC), explains that "companies are making millions of dollars selling this product even more expensive than gas." In his view, what they are doing is "benefit of people thinking that tap water is not as good as the water in the bottle".
In this same line Erian said Diaz, noting that in recent years the bottled water industry has tried to convince us that the only place to get clean, safe water is in the bottle. "The private water industry is very aggressively pushing a radical agenda to put public water, a human right, in private hands for profit," he said.
Top it off with defrauding consumers, corporations cause much environmental damage wasting natural resources. According to Emily Wurth, of the NGO 'Food and Water Watch, bottled water industries used annually between 32 and 54 million barrels of oil, equivalent to gasoline with 1 or 2 million cars.

After a chemical analysis of this water, the scientists found that the fluid has a high content of water disinfectants, traces of pharmaceuticals and other chemicals, which makes bottled water can cause significant damage to health, often more important than tap water.
According to Chris Winder, professor of toxicology at the Australian Catholic University, studies in animals have concluded that bisphenol-A can cause various health problems such as reproductive system disorders in the central nervous system, thyroid, as well as driving to obesity, or increased blood pressure and diabetes.
An earlier study conducted in the U.S. urine revealed that in 95% of people who drink bottled water which analyzes them, including children and pregnant women, showed traces of bisphenol-A.
Also another added inconvenience of bottled water is its high cost, a hundred times more than tap water, in addition to the production of plastic bottles contributes to pollution of the environment, as for the packaging of water will produce about 1.5 million tons of plastic per year.
