You'll have to write your own paragraphs, but I can give you reasons.
1. The water is no different between bottled water and tap water.
2. Unnecessary expense; tap water is free.
3. Environmental impact of the bottles that don't biodegrade and are not routinely recycled, not to mention the rucks hauling water around the nation.

What I've read is that bottled water is more loosely regulated then tap water.Bottled water regulation is "low priority" & bottled water programs at all levels are under funded & seldom used.Some bottled water labels are misleading, implying that the water bubbles up from a mineral spring somewhere in the french Alps, while many companies advertise their products as "natural spring water"there is no legal definition of what constitutes a spring & "natural means only that the content of the water has not been altered, its really hard to tell what your really getting.They try to rip you off by saying something like "spring pure" when they really mean "straight from the tap" & that would be perfectly legal. Though it is not legal to mislabel water as far as its source of purification,there are no laws to prohibit botteling tap water from any municipal source.Its said that at least 25% of bottled water is just tap water.

Most bottled water is not fluoridated like tap water is, unless it says so on the bottle. Also, some bottled water contains 1% of your daily intake of sodium (if you're watching your salt intake). I would prefer the bottled water that has 4% calcium instead, but, overall, I prefer tap water. Also, have you noticed the awful taste of some bottled waters? Dasani has a terrible taste. Evian is still the best tasting bottled water out there. Even then, save some money and bring tap water in a nalgene wherever you go, instead.

bottled water adds to plastic waste, land fill and yes they can be recycled but recycling still produces other waste like carbon dioxide, uses electricity etc - this is only a start you can investigate it yourself.
some people believe bottled water is not good for your teeth as there is no added fluoride something that is added to tap water in a lot of places in the developed world

My son is 13 months previous and has in no way drank better than 4 oz..at a time. we've a number of the vast bottles yet in no way use them. a minimum of for us, the vast ones have been a waste of money because of the fact (with a bit of luck) he would be off the bottle quickly and would have in no way used them. each and every toddler is diverse and a few in no way get to an 8oz feed. the only time my son drinks better than 4oz is while he has been exterior playing and it is particularly warm, if so we only make him some greater oz..after he's executed. i think of it is much less stressful to bathe the smaller bottles too (smaller=much less). or perhaps nonetheless the vast ones do no longer look "that" lots greater, in assessment to the size of a new child they are extensive and at 1st they do no longer drink better than 2oz.

tap water is actually cleaner than bottled water bc of all the sewage system laws we have in the US and bc of the fact that bottled water comes from springs.
bottled water is a waste of money and wasteful of the resources in the environment because u cant guarrentee that all bottles will be recycled (some will, but most people will throw it in the garbage dump).
i'll leave the last for u... ^_^

They have no fluoride content. Some children who only drink bottled water develop cavities.
They make alot of trash. If you don't throw them away you have to recycle them.
Waste of money. Many countries have unclean water supplies. What if we started being thankful for our tap water and donated the money we save on bottled water to people who have no clean water!
