Downing the last drop of an expensive famous brand H2O as well as remembering to throw the empty bottle in the recycling bin, makes you feel pretty good about yourself, right? It shouldn’t. Even when the bottles are recycled, there are all kinds of other consequences of swallowing bottled water, says Melissa Peffers, the air-quality program manager for Environmental Defense.
The containers are often filled in faraway lands, then shipped from abroad, and storedin refrigerators at your local store. Compare that with the influence on environment of turning on your tap, filling a glass, and drinking up!
Anyone who is choosing bottled water for health reasons is misguided, says Peffers, “Most bottled water is just tap water.” And what comes out of your tap is carefully monitored to follow the strict rules. Consider another fact that bottled water is surprisingly expensive, especially when compared with the alternative, which is almost free, and it is astonishing that America’s desire for bottled water seems impossible to satisfy, reaching nearly 30 billion bottles a year.
“My parents’ generation never had bottled water,” says Isabelle Silverman, an Environmental Defense legal adviser. She has made a commitment to going bottle free. “You don’t need to fetch it home from the store, and it’s cheaper,” she adds.
Bottled water’s role as a status symbol needs to change, Peffers points out. So when a waiter at an expensive restaurant offers “And what’s your drink?” that’s no reason to forget your conviction（信念）. “Don’t be afraid to say, ‘I’ll have tap.’ Say it loud enough that the other tables nearby can hear you,” Peffers says. “And then spend that money on a dessert.” 展开

饮尽知名品牌H2O的最后一滴和想起把空瓶扔进回收垃圾箱一样，让你自我感觉非常良好，对吗？不该如此。就算那些瓶子被回收了，仍然有各种各样因为喝完瓶装水而带来的后果，环保协会空气质量项目经理Melissa Peffers说。
这些容器通常在遥远的地方灌装，之后从国外运来并存放在本地商店的冰箱里。如此和打开你的水龙头，装满一杯水然后一饮而尽对于环境的影响相比（这里觉得有漏掉的句子）。
由于健康原因而选择瓶装水的人都被误导了，Peffers说，“大部分的瓶装水就是自来水。”从你自家水龙头出来的水是依照严格规定被小心监测过的。想想另外一个事实，就是特别是相比之下有近乎免费替代品的时候，瓶装水的价格惊人地昂贵，真惊异美国人对瓶装水的渴求几乎难以满足，每年消耗了将近300亿瓶装水。
“我的父辈们从来不喝瓶装水，”环保协会法律顾问Isabelle Sivlerman说道，她一直致力于消除瓶装水。“你不需要将它从商场里拿回家，它并不值钱，”她补充道。
作为身份象征的瓶装水需要改变，Peffers指出。因此当一名高级餐厅的侍应生提出“你还需要什么喝的？”没有理由忘却你的信念。“不要惧怕说，”我喝自来水就好”。声音响亮地说出来让你邻桌的人能听见，”Peffers说。“然后把钱用来买份甜点。”
