To some consumers, purchasing one-time use water bottles seems trendy and convenient, a perception that couldn’t be further from the truth.  Not only does it dwindle your savings, it’s detrimental to your health and the environment as well.  Below are a few reasons to avoid one-time use bottles:

Bottled water is no better than tap water… Popular brand name’s such as Coca-Cola’s Dasani are simply purified tap water that’s had minerals added back in. For example, if your Dasani water was bottled at the Coca-Cola Bottling Company in Philadelphia, you’re drinking Philly tap water.  25 percent of all bottled water is taken from municipal water sources, including Pepsi’s Aquafina, ugh!

Bottled water isn’t always pure… That’s right, the labels on many bottles have the words “natural” and “pure” on them, which may be misleading.  The Natural Resources Defense Council recently conducted a test on 1,000 bottles, and found that about “22 percent of the brands we tested contained, in at least one sample, chemical contaminants at levels above strict state health limits.”

You may be drinking more than just water…Pthalates and antimony, chemicals linked to cancer, can leach from the plastic into your water.  This is especially true when you’re bottle is left in a car or any other hot environment, as higher temperatures will melt the plastic.
