so today we want to talk about the

difference between canned water or

plastic bottled water what would be

better okay

well let’s first talk about plastic

bottles in general now it’s made from a

certain chemical in plastic called

polyethylene terephthalate and there are

over 15,000 plastic bottles disregarded

every single second 80% of these end up

in landfill okay and it is biodegradable

but it takes a thousand years so your

great-great-great great-great-great

great-great great-great grandkids will

experience the benefit okay it’s gonna

be a long time so on a yearly basis it

uses 17 million barrels of oil and ten

percent of this plastic ends up in the

ocean okay where it breaks down to a

certain degree and then the fish eat it

and then you eat the fish so it ends up

in your body and what’s really ironic is

that the recycle rate is really really

low it’s like nine point five percent

and it takes a lot more energy to

recycle these plastic bottles

now let’s ship two cans okay I’m talking

about like when you’re using like canned

water a hundred percent of it could be

recycled and it can be recycled forever

okay so you can keep recycling it over

and over and over it never wears out

with and you don’t have to add anything

to it like you do with plastic and it

requires 95 percent less energy okay and

the recycle rate is 45 percent

so from an eco friendly standpoint it’s

much much better okay now here the draw

box it does contain the chemical on the

inner coating called BPA well so does

plastics so they both contain this

chemical now there’s some data that I

found which I don’t know if it’s

actually true or not but it says that

the curing process reduces this chemical

right here my thought is that the amount

that you’re exposed to isn’t quite high

and potentially it could be a problem if

you’re just drinking all your water from

cans and by the way I recommend that you

just get a simple filter for your house

and start drinking mostly filtered water

and if you have the choice between

canned water and plastic go for the

canned

it’s actually much better on the

environment thanks for watching
