Let's post views.
It has made me think many times. Look at 2-3 incidences which made me think so ...
- Whenever nowadays while travelling, in trains, I am always looking out for "Bottled" Water or so called "Mineral" water. It's Packaged Drinking Water Actually. Point is : Earlier, when there was not much Bottled Water Around; I used to carry my own Water Bottle, get it filled on a Railways provided Tap. Now I can't really dare do that (Unless helpless).
- At the same time, as a consultant, I see the water production cost (in OCT 18) is hardly 6.5 Rs per bottle, and it's sold at 20 Rs to the consumer. Such a huge difference ! (Due to distribution)
- The cost of producing this Saltless water is not that huge as to when it's packed, costs less than 5 paise per litre. Bottling adds all the loads.
- And at last but not the least: the Plastic. Bottled Water doesn't see any other options than PET bottle, as it's the cheapest now compared to all other options.
- Is the soil truly so contaminated now, that we can't drink the water like that ? Or it's created ?
Friends, I am confronted with many questions like these. Let's have an open dialogue !
Good Luck.
