Canada has 20% of the world's fresh water supply and 7% of it is renewable. The other 13% of it are glaciers, ice and polluted water. Polluted by fossil fuels and all types of toxic chemicals. Majority of this is because of the amount of bottled water that is made and shipped across the world every day! Not only is this effecting our environment but our selves as well. Most (and next to all) water bottles contain microbial contaminants. This is the growth of harmful microorganisms such as Clostridium botulism. Many types of bottled water contain excessive amounts of harmful bacteria, and all they have to do is put a label saying that there may be "high levels of bacteria" or that there is "excessive amounts of bacteria". Tap water on the other hand does not have such harmful effects it is much cleaner and safer because it has to go to meet a certain standard before it is available for consumers like us to buy,the standard for bottled water is much lower. If we are able to get at least a 100 signatures, then we can take action into our own hands and raise awareness about the dangers of bottled water. Please sign this petition and help change the world...one bottle at a time!
