The Story of Bottled Water

The Story of Bottled Water, is short online video presented by the Story of Stuff Project that tells the story of manufactured demand, or how to persuade consumers to buy bottled water. The film explores the bottled water industry’s attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. It concludes with a call to ‘take back the tap,’ not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all.

Related Union Campaign example-
The ASU has called for local councils throughout Australia to provide greater public access to free water facilities to encourage less dependence on water sold in plastic disposable bottles.
The provision of water through retail sales outlets not only adversely affects the environment through the pollution caused by the manufacture and transportation of the plastic bottles, we also need to ask if the export of water is a loss for the community where the water is produced. http://www.asu.asn.au/media/localgovt/20090714_waterbottles.html
