i did this for geography i'll have to find a list of resources i used. but basically the main point is that the plastic can leak into the water and cause harmful diseases. one example is the huge water jugs people use at work

http://www.thisland.uiuc.edu/57ways/57ways_40.html <-- university resource

http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Publications/PM1813.pdf <-- university resource

http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/onlcourse/safewater.html <-- samething as the other two.

hmm, when i say articles i mean magazine/newspaper/encyclopedia

but those are decent..i'll ask the teacher if internet articles are ok too..

Just a quick question... If you're asking for help over an internet website wouldn't you expect people to give you website articles and internet stuff. I mean if you're looking for physical articles and books then this is the wrong place to ask for stuff like that. Might I suggest the library. -_-

Use your school databases

Jstor, EbscoHost, Galenet?

If ur school doesnt have it, use the public library's. you just have to put ur barcode and pin and u can use it. Idk if candadian libraries have it though lol

Jstor - Articles (mainly)

Ebscohost- Articles, Book reviews/segments

Galenet - Not sure, i think its newspapers though

also research the bottom of the plastic bottles. you know the little triangle thing with a number in it? tells you the grade of the plastic. some higher grades like the water jug ones offices use is a type of plastic that has some traces of chemicals used in birth control. O.o

pro:

because of bottled water a lot of water could be wasted ex. a person can drink half a bottle and just throw away the rest in a garbage can

con:

healthier than soda ex. if we took out bottled water from stores the other alternative would mostly be soda in cans or bottles even though there is a chance that bottled water could be harmful because of plastic leaking. in the long around it is still better than the other alternatives.
