Information
Description:


This film explores the bottled water industrys attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces.   



The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all.

Teacher Notes:
- create a bottled water challenge at your school where yoy challenge students to use re-usable water bottles instead of plastic

- conduct a water test, is the water in your community or school taps really any different from that found in bottles

- research popular bottled water companies, where does their water really come from?
