Question from sheila norgate
Hello Debra. First off, thanks so much for doing the webinar tonight. I appreciate it – and your efforts – very much.
With bottled water, how do we get around the problem of the plastic leaching into the water? I use a metal water bottle and refill it but there are times when I have to buy bottled water which of course comes in plastic only.
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Debra’s Answer
There is no way to get around the problem of plastic leaching into the water if you buy water in plastic bottles. There are times when I, too, need to buy water in plastic bottles. And we just need to do it. Consider the options: no water leads to dehydration and death, bottled water gives some plastic leaching, tap water contains even more toxic chemicals. So do the best you can and use bottled water only when necessary to prevent dehydration.
