out more and more about what is good and bad for us. Who would have thought water would be one of the bad. Not only do we have to worry about where the water actually comes from (because the government allows the water companies to lie just a little on that), but we have to worry about the chemicals in the bottle itself. BPA is now a widely know chemical. It is leeching and lurking in all of our food and beverages. It is a harmrul substance that is dangerous even at low doses. "The award-winning documentary Tapped is embarking on an eco-aggressive 30- day/30-city cross country tour to get Americans “Off the Bottle.” Beginning World Water Day (3/22) the Tapped crew will take their mobile showroom on the road. (source: tappedthemovie.com) Not only do we have to worry about the water AND the BPA, but most importantly, we need to worry about the 30 million water bottles that go in the landfill EVERY DAY!
Collecting pledges from people to reduce their bottled water use and trading empty plastic water bottles for reusable stainless steel water bottles, "Tapped" and this mobile translucent recycling container will begin the “Get Off The (h20) Bottle” tour in Los Angeles with an empty cabin that will be filled with the public’s empty water bottles by the time the team ends up in New York City on Earth Day (April 22nd, 2010).(tappedthemovie.com)
Director Stephanie Soechtig says about the tour, “1,500 bottles of water end up in landfills every second – that’s 30 million bottles of water a day! We wanted to show people just how much waste is generated by bottled water - so if that means we have to drive city to city to get the point across than that’s what we’ll do!”
Follow the Tapped team across the country getting pledges from people to reduce their use of plastic water bottles and switch to using a reusable waterbottle.
