A writer is working on a research paper in which she argues that bottled water is not necessarily superior to tap water in quality. One of the paragraphs in her paper reads: Bottled water is something that most people have been taught is a good thing. Not enough people, however, research whether the claims the bottled water industry makes are true, and whether bottled water is always better than tap water. We are used to hearing that we need to drink more water, and we see advertisements touting the purity, tastiness, and convenience of bottled water. An explanation for why bottled water sells well can be found in the article "Bottled Water: Is Bottled Water a Responsible Alternative to Tap Water?": "Although defenders of bottled water say that its continued popularity is a testament to its convenience, the writer Lisa Margonelli attributes such popularity to 'marketing, marketing and more marketing,' noting that advertisements for bottled water portray it not only as a healthy alternative to tap water but also as an environmentally friendly product" ("Bottled Water"). In other words, too often people are charmed by the beautiful lakes and waterfalls and calm blue or green nature-inspired tinting on the packaging and fail to look beyond these to the realities of the bottled water industry. This paragraph effectively relates the writer's source materiål to her own ideas about bottled' water. Source Citation: "Bottled Water: Is Bottled Water a Responsible Alternative to Tap Water?"

Bonus Knowledge

It's interesting to note that bottled water consumption has skyrocketed over the past few decades, with Americans alone consuming nearly 15 billion gallons in 2020, a trend largely driven by strategic advertising campaigns that emphasize convenience and perceived purity. However, many experts argue that bottled water is often less regulated than tap water, leading to concerns about its actual safety and quality. Addressing bottled versus tap water quality can empower consumers to make informed choices. A common mistake is assuming that a higher price tag equates to higher quality. It's crucial to investigate the source of bottled water—many brands simply use municipal tap water. Utilizing water quality reports from local utilities can provide clarity on the purity and safety of tap water, helping users make the most environmentally and health-conscious decisions.
