DEFINITION 1
The battle to determine whether bottled water should be
banned or not banned continues. People often carry water
bottles with them so they can have access to water at all
times. Water bottles are convenient for our health and
rushed lifestyles. Therefore our group is against banning
water bottles.

DEFINITION 2
The human body requires 8-10 cups of wate r a day. So while standing in front of a
vending machine with no bottled water, mo st consumers try soft drinks because
they are cheaper depending on the brand and more appealing by taste. However
soft drinks such as Coke, contain lots of sug ar which can lead to health problems.
There are 12 ounces of sugar in a can of cok e. Without bottled water the
temptation of buying these products is much greater in most cases depending on
the consumer. Though water bottles may h arm the environment, soft drinks are a
greater harm to consumer health. Bottled wa ter is more expensive than Coke, or
any other sodas, but bottled water is more h ealthier and has the benefits for your
body. About 2.1 million people of the world are already obese. With water bottles
gone, most consumers will start going towa rds the unhealthy side.

In this day and age, recent studies ha ve shown, for example the
UC San Francisco's Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center study
shows the horrible health effects of s odadiet, high-fructose corn
syrup, or even real sugar loaded, this i s what our
environmentalists spend their time fi ghting for? How about fighting

poison all of us, no matter whether it comes from a faucet or a

DEFINITION 4
Maria Harter, chairman and CEO of one of the largest independent publishers left
in America said: I remember the world befo re bottled water. I remember pulling
into a gas station when I was a teenager and looking at a soda machine and
making a desperate wish that one dayone da yI would be able to get some nice
cold water out of there. Why? What drinking fountains of the day dispensed was
almost always foul tasting and lukewarm. An d I have always found sugary drinks
to leave a horrible aftertaste that actually make s me MORE thirsty, not less. I
often pack my own water. But sometimes, sometimeslike on a road tripthat water
runs out or gets too warm to drink. Sometim es my kids cry in the backseat that
they are thirsty and really want water. Not sod a, which they dont even really like,
but water! What am I supposed to say to them ? Sorry, honeys, but you have to
drink soda?

DEFINITION 5
Bottled water has a substantial shelf l ife, which is valuable for
emergency preparedness. Many bot tles are made from plastic
because of the availability of it. It is hig hly convenient for our
complex and rushed lifestyles. When you need to take water on
the go, having a container to transpo rt it in is essential. Plastic
water bottles offer that portability. All you need to do is grab the
bottle and go. Plastic is lightweight and can easily be carried with
you wherever you go.
