We attempt to approach the Ministry of health with a request to ban the high BPA, plastic water bottles and replace it with exchangeable glass ones . 

"BPA exhibits hormone-like properties that raise concern about its suitability in consumer products and food containers. Since 2008, several governments have questioned its safety, which prompted some retailers to withdraw polycarbonate products. A 2010 report from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned of possible hazards to fetuses, infants, and young children.[2] In September 2010, Canada became the first country to declare BPA a toxic substance.[3][4] The European Union, Canada, and recently the United States have banned BPA use in baby bottles.[5]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A

Yet, all UAE local water is bottled win plastic that gets exposed to the very high temperatures making it a ticking bomb for our bodies. 

It is the most vital element and a concern to all of us.

Just buy a metal bottle and fill it yourself. Keep the plastic off the shelves.

BPA is nasty stuff. stop putting it in our bottles or stop selling them entirely. health before profit for once.

This is ridiculous. Why are we still drinking out of plastic that is known to be toxic? Switch to glass already.
