In Praise of Tap Water:
1.
Each year countless
water bottles are produced and consumed instead of people using tap water,
people need to take a step back and look at what this is doing to their home.
2.
Argument 1: Money. “you
could spend up to $1,400 annually. The same amount of tap water would cost
about 49 cents.”
Argument
2: The environment.
Argument
3: “the less political support there will be for investigating and maintaining
Americas public water supply.”
3.
Once people realize how
they can take part in saving not only money but theior planet they will change
their thoughts about drinking out of the tap instead of a plastic water bottle.
4.
I do think that the
writer considers enough arguments against this position. One counter argument
could be that water bottles are very convenient and people sopetimes don’t have
the time to fill up a metal water bottle with tap water.
5.
The purpose of paragraph
five is to give additional information and an outside opinion on the bottled
water argument.
Defying the Nalgene:
1.
The arguments against
using water bottles are not convincing enough to stop the use of them entirely.
2.
Argument 1: Enviromental
arguments
Argument
2: High Costs
Argument
3: Insufficient health benefits
3.
Argument 1: Using
refillable water bottles are bad. They get dirty and moldy fast. A water bottle
is much more convienient.
Argument
2: Many places in the world do not have clean running water. If we stopped
buying bottled water people in other countries would be badly hurt.
4.
Although there are a
number of reasons people are against buying bottled water those reasons are not
backed up with facts and therefore we should all drink bottled water.
5.
I think Moore should
have defined the word Nalgene because
not only is it in the title of his article but he makes reference to it
throughout his article as well.
Pure Water 2Go:
1.
The picture shows a
number of dirty plastic bottles which pose a strong argument for water filters.
This picture is a visual of just how many waters bottles are used every day and
it makes one realize that just buy using a reusable water bottle or even a
water filter we can all make this earth a little cleaner.
