The Story of Bottled Water

I was fascinated by "The story of stuff project" videos so I entered their web page, doing this I discovered that they had 3 video available, and another one that will be put on web at May.





The story of Bottled Water tells how bottled water got market. I really liked this video because I've always been wondering why does bottled water is sold if you can get water for almost free at your kitchen and also, why is it so popular drinking from them if they are just one of the many reasons that contaminate our world.



This video talks about how Fiji's publicity campaign got people to drink from bottles of water. They used three methods:



First they scared us by telling us that bottled water was cleaner than tab water. Then, they seduced us by putting a forest on their etiquettes trying to tell that the water was obtained from those forests when in fact they are harming them and infact those bottled water have always been gotten from.. a tab. Then, finally they mislead us, lets say that most of a country's water is polluted and we are obligated to buy and drink a bottle of water, while in fact those companies where the ones responsible for the contamination of the water in the first place.



I've never knew that bottle water companies had a lot to do in our society's global warming issues, it just isn't the fact that they are making more plastic stuff like bottles, but they are creating a bad habit on people's minds, like buying something we really don't need.
