TasteMyth

Bottled water taste better

Truth When people are put in a

blind taste test many can’t tell the difference and usually more people prefer the taste of tap water.

If you don’t believe me, try it yourself.

ISB Blind Taste TestWe tested ISB students. Students had to choose which water tasted better: A

or B. They didn’t know which was bottled water and which

was ISB fountain water (filtered).Bottled Water

Safety

Myth Bottled

water is safer and healthier than tap water.

Truth Some bottled water contains:

bacterial contaminants industrial solvents chemicals from plastic (BPA) arsenic, a known carcinogen (cancer causing).

Bottled water is MUCH less regulated for safety than tap water.

Remember bottled water is made for profit; not safety.

True or False

All bottled water comes from clean pristine rivers that flow down mountains.

False 40% of bottled water is

actually tap water.

Desani (from Coca Cola) Aquafina (from Pepsi)Both are tap water!!

What about our water?

ISB sells Crystal water. We called Crystal & asked a few

questions.They use filtered tap water.

That’s right, it is the same as ISB water, but you paid for the pretty bottle.

So the bottle itself must be a good thing right?

WRONG!!!The container (bottles) that we store

the water in is actually not safe for us.Bisphenol A (BPA), found in many plastic bottles and

water coolers contains estrogens. Estrogens are female hormones and has been linked to

breast and ovarian cancers and childhood developmental problems.

Phthalates, which are known to disrupt testosterone and other hormones, can leach into bottled water over time.

ISB reusable bottles are BPA & Phthalates free.

Environment:a nightmare from beginning to

end

Bottled water causes over 60 million plastic bottles to be produced, filled, transported and disposed of "every day" in America. That’s just in USA.

Less than 20% of bottles get recycled.

It takes 3 times as much water to produce the bottle as it does to fill it.

Oil is used to make it & ship it. Most bottles never get recycled.

Plastic takes over 300 years to degrade in nature.

Plastic was invented 140 years ago and it is all still here, piling up in our landfills, oceans and communities.

Cost1 ISB bottle =

350 baht

183 school days / year

20 baht/Crystal bottle

20 x 183 = 3660

1 Crystal each dayFor the year = 3660 baht

Tap (filtered) vs. Bottle

Myth The price is worth it

Truth It’s not safer Not cleaner Has a gigantic negative

environmental impact And doesn’t taste better. Yet, people spend about

500 times more for bottled water than they typically do for tap water.

Water changes at ISB2 new water dispensers at the gym and

cafeteria for you to refill your own water bottle.

Bookstore sells water bag & bottles for 350 baht. BPA FREE

Crystal water will double from 10 baht to 20 baht.Remember the fountain water is the same water,

but free!

Don’t be a fool…

Do it for your taste buds,

Do it for your health, Do it for your planet, Do it for your wallet… Say no to bottled water.

Get a BPA free refillable bottle or bag
