Bottled Water Persuasive Speech

Introduction

Many people believe that bottled water is more preferred because it´s easier to use, it´s easier to get, and because in cases like natural disasters, it can sometimes be the only option for water to stay hydrated. But this is completely misleading, because bottled water is just more of a job for people, and the environment. Which is why bottled water is a deceitful way of getting water, because it cost more, it is causing pollution and toxins that are a safety concern, and most of all, because when you think about it, it is a completely illogical, which is why it should be banned from North Shore Middle and Entrepreneurial school.

Why these two things are key to note is that, it directly tells us with extensive research that bottled water not only comes from the same place as tap, but also that bottled isn´t anymore safer or purer than tap, which shows that they are essentially the same thing, which is why we should altogether banned them from our school and use reusable
