The First Transportable Water Bottle
The Roman's were the people to create the first transportable water using animal skins and clay. They were given to soldiers, traders and merchants for their trips along the way. -
The NEWER Water Bottles (Plastic)
Plastic water bottles came in 1947 but was kind of expensive until the early 1960's when high-density polyethylene was produced and brought to the public. It gained popularity fairly quickly with more manufactures along with consumers. The light-weight material and non-expensive cost to produce became the logical choice over other material bottles (Glass,steel etc.) Most food industries except wine and beer transitioned to the use of plastic. -
The Beginning
From the beginning of human history people have always thought to keep clean fresh water but it had to be transported around. -
Water Bottles Now
Now we have so many different water bottles depending on brands how they are designed what they are produced to do. Here are some brands. Contigo, Subzero, Nike, Gatorade, Under Armour, Camelbak, Nalgene, OGGI, Mira etc. -
Future Water Bottles
Who knows what the future will bring for our water bottles whether we will be able to teleport it across the earth or a collapsable water bottle that doesn't spray water at you. WHO KNOWS??????!!!! -
Problems With Plastic
Around the 1980's economical, social and environmental impacts started affecting the world. Normal Mailer said in Harvard Magazine in 1983, “I sometimes think that there is a malign force loose in the universe that is the social equivalent of cancer, and it’s plastic. It infiltrates everything. It’s metastasis. It gets into every single pore of productive life…” -
More Problems
Research is starting to show that bottled water sales are declining because people are starting to take part and notice what it does to the environment and the community. Bottled water companies are pushing a new water invention that makes major profits from natural resources that is no different from tap water, comes in plastic and produces a vast amount of waste and is more expensive than regular tap water. -
How To Help
Bottle your own water! Help the environment! Most of the time purchased bottled water is the exact same as regular tap water. Just because they are the top-selling brand products are always telling the truth and safe to drink (Not always). Coca-Cola an Schweppes are stealing our aquifer water, shoving it into plastic bottles and put it right on the market. Tap water has been called out for disease and that's not right either it is scientifically proven that tap water is some of the cleanest.
