Some green protectors keep warning about the dangers of plastic bottles to our nature, animals and our health. At the same time, media and are warning that the tap water is full of pharmaceuticals, microplastics, heavy metals and chemicals.

Than what should should we do? Let's see some facts:

1. Based on multiples studies, tap water that follows the World Health Organization’s guidelines for drinkable water (US and EU countries do) is generally as healthier than the bottled one;
2. Tap water costs less than 0.1 cent per liter. Bottled water costs from 20 cent per liter and upwards, making it 200x more expensive or even more depending on the brand. If we take in account restaurants, coffee shops and kiosks is even more expensive;
3. The tap water cant provide unlimited fresh water whenever we need for drinking, cooking, making coffee, and a lot more options;
4.  In some places like Lisbon, London or Madrid the local tap water tastes pretty good, in other countries it may taste poorly. But the bad taste can easily be improved by using a water filters that can be bought on internet;
5. Let's conclude with the more important one! The waste of bottled water is destroying our oceans, wildlife and earth. Less than 10% of plastic are getting recycled worldwide, were the rest of them ends up in landfills and our nature, and eventually breaks down into microplastics ending up in the oceans.
