Why Bottled Water is NOT the Solution for China’s Drinking Water Crisis?
The bottled water business is one of the fastest growing markets in China. Water companies take advantage of the publics’ scepticism about the quality of tap water and promote their products as ‘safe’ and ‘healthy’. However, bottled water companies extract our precious and scarce water resources to fill billions of bottles and sell them for tremendous profit, destroying our vulnerable water system and seriously affecting people’s right of access to clean, sufficient and affordable water.
