Clean Water, Healthy Life

Much of our tap water is contaminated by harmful chemicals, though the government claims that there is an "acceptable" amount. Can there really be an acceptable amount of toxins? Toxins are toxins. And if the water we drink from the tap is harmful to us, and drinking out of plastic bottles is harmful to the environment, then what are we supposed to do? I believe that our tap water is indeed harmful but that we shouldn't resort to drinking out of non-reusable water bottles. Instead, we should invest in a water purifier, that will clean our tap water for us, to keep both us and the environment healthy.
There are requirements set by the government that our drinking water has to meet, however I don't believe that they are strict enough. Water can only have a certain amount of toxins in it, when I believe that there should be none. I know that with pollution, it is near impossible to get our drinking water completely clear of chemicals, I get that. However then, I think it should be the government's job to clean our water. Houses should be supplied with water purifiers, we should not have to provide them for ourselves.

Though I wish that the government took more responsibility for keeping our water clean, this is not the case. So for now, we need to take responsibility for getting the cleanest water possible. While drinking out of plastic bottles seems the most practical and easiest way to solve this problem, we need to take into account the environment. The cost it takes to make the plastic and all of the extra waste we would be creating with the extra bottles, this does not seem like the greatest idea for our environment. I suggest a purifier. Either one that you can fill and store in your fridge (like I have), or one that attaches to your faucet directly such as the Ozone Boy Water Purification System. These systems may seems pricey right now, but they will pay off in the long run, and they will be healthier for you and the environment,
So I challenge you to take the step to a healthier life with a water purifier, and to look out for the environment by not drinking out of plastic bottles.
