Well, bottled water isn't really necessary. It's a lot of wasted energy and generated waste for very little actual improvement.
It takes a lot of resources to make the bottles, fill them up and ship them out. Then some more to deal with the empties.
You can save a lot of energy, and reduce waste, by drinking tap water. Even filtering the tap water - if needed - takes far less energy than bottled water.
But whether to ban them or not is another matter. We do a lot of things that aren't needed, bottled water is only one of them. It's more of a political question than a practical question. No one needs sodas or alcohol either for instance.
No country may have yet banned bottled water entirely. However, the first town to ban bottled water is Bundanoon in New South Wales, Australia. They did so in 2009.
For what?
There should not be any white flakes in bottled water. If you have white flakes in your bottle, do not drink it, throw it away and open a new bottle of water.
It should be bottled by a reputable company. If it says it is pasteurized, that is a good sign.
Because the bottles cause polution to the planet. It is OK to drink bottled water provided yuse and refil the same bottel with boiled (cooled) water.
Tap water is not safe. You should only drink bottled water.
Please grab the bottled water in the fridge!=Do not let the bottled water go to waste. The bottled water in the pantry is Aquafinas, not Zephyrhills. =P Lolz..=

the should ban bottled water it bad for the environment it can cause cancer why take the risk and even worse there is lots of landfill all for bottled water think twice about that and in the future there is a bottle that is coming out called biota but that is only in the USA at the moment
Charles Pinth invented bottled water in 1813. Dasani and Aquafina are 2 of the most popular brands of bottled water.
Bottled water, like any other water, is still H20.
This depends on how the tap water is in your area. If you trust the tap water, then it is fine to give it to them. On the other hand, if you live in an area where the water might not be the safest, bottled is best. In my opinion, however, bottled water is surely the safest route to take. Another option also is to use a water purifier.
