Study Shows That Bottled Water Is 3,500 Times More Harmful to the Environment Than Tap Water
If you needed another reason to ditch bottled water and turn on the tap, a new study shows that it’s 3,500 times more harmful for the environment than tap water. This number comes from assessing everything from extracting the raw materials (to make the bottles) to manufacturing, distribution, transport, usage, and disposal. The Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) focused on bottled water usage in Barcelona, Spain, and gives one more reason to stop relying on bottled water.
