Putting a price on water makes people value it more, and thus conserve it.

Everything in this life is about  money and surviving , everyday people wants to get more and more that is the reason why factories like Coca Cola, PepsiCo and many more are using us a guinea pig selling us bottles of water. A bottle of water? how come? , water is almost free in this country how can we be so ignorant and pay for it, sometimes I think we pay for it because we are lazy or we just want to skip steps like filling the bottle of water and put it on the refrigerator until gets really cold, is more easy to open up a bottle , drink it and throw it in the garbage without thinking in how bad is that for the environment 

A plastic water bottle can take up to 1000 years to degrade in landfill and if is burn in incinerators, it releases dioxins  which are highly toxic and can cause reproductive and developmental problems, damage the immune system, interfere with hormones and also cause cancer.

In my family we all used to drink bottles of water until we decided to look for different ways to save money and we released that drinking tap water  “New York Water”  we can save 1000 a year and probably more because everywhere you go you order a bottle of water just to be cool.
