Bottle Water is the type of design that is constantly used by many Americans. It is actually more expensive creating the plastic water bottle than the water contained in the bottle. Not only is the water bottle create a hole in your wallet, but it also affects your health. However, I am not just talking about water bottles, but all types of plastic bottles, including the baby bottles children drink from everyday. Why is it dangerous? The chemicals can potential harm you. Plastic bottles tend to be marked with recycling codes in order to distinguish them apart. The Plastics #1, #3, #6 and #7 are among the varieties that are not recommended to be used for certain items. However, scientists say #2, #4 and #5 tend to be safer among the other plastics.
"The last category of plastic is number seven. Number seven means the plastic used is either a combination of two or more of the previously mentioned plastics, or that the plastic used does not fit into any of the previously mentioned plastic categories." mentions EHOW.com This plastic can be good or bad, depending on its specific qualities. In example, Polycarbonate is used in many containers and is considered highly dangerous, while biodegradable bio-based plastics are considered to be the "good" plastics. Both of these are number seven plastics. It is usually common for the bottle to be marked with the number seven. In addition to the health problems, plastic bottles depend on cheap labor. I think we would rather prefer not to help cheap labor, right?
