how was the bp oil spill caused

In the late 1970s, bottled water has been introduced on the market and has been widely accepted by many consumers. Then in 2000, bottled water companies prospered and caused pressure on the natural environment due to the production of 1.5 million tons of bottles plastic per year in the world that the causes of pollution.

Statistics show that bottled water causes pollution due to tons of oil Gross is used to produce bottled water. One environmentalist said he is 17 million barrels of oil to 1.5 million containers in plastic is actually enough to feed one million cars, also need 2.7 million tons of plastic are needed to manufacture plastic packaging each year. Although governments have supported the recycling of plastic bottle, the data show that recycling 53% of bottled water in 1993 decreased by 12% the plastic bottle full of 2003.

In the view of environmentalists, the continued decline of recycled plastic bottles became very alarming and a solution to support the cam to solve this problem is the formation of a national law to allow the government to come up with a plan on how to provide incentives for those who assist the government in the recycling of plastic bottles especially the consumption of plastic.

Some experts say that it's much better to drink the tap water bottled water for the following reasons:

 • The lower cost per gallon of tap water versus bottled water
 • 90% of water bottles are not recycled
 • 2.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide is thought to be generated in 2006 to produce plastic bottles.
• pollution Phthalet – Commonly used in the manufacture of plastic can contaminate the water inside the plastic container, particularly the old bottles.
 • Bisphenol A Pollution – BPA is a harmful chemical substance which is a common component of plastic bottles. He tends to pollute water Once the plastic bottle is heated or if there is a crack in the bottle itself.

Although the government has already guaranteed all the water that comes from your faucet is still drinking bottled water continues to increase its annual turnover, according to data from a government institution, Americans spent $ 11 billion dollars on bottled H2O in 2006 alone and will increase every year. In addition, the reports show that in the same year on 1 May Containers plastic have been recycled.

One of the companies in the state of Colorado called "biota" has invented a plastic biodegradable is actually Dow Chemical and corn starch that is generated by the seed company Cargill.

This invention could help calm the tension in the air and keep us away from the harmful effects of pollution.
