Profit in a bottle
Dahlia El-Shafei reviews the new documentary Tapped about the bottled water industry.
July 29, 2009
THERE IS unarguably a trend in mass media to promote a “green” lifestyle, and the propagators are cleverly shifting strategies to divert blame and responsibility. Not to mention convincing us to buy more products to keep up with the new social standards.
Drive down the street in your brand-new Prius, take a bag made from recycled materials on your next shopping trip, and always carry bottled water. Tapped, the new film from directors Stephanie Soechtig and Jason Lindsey, dispels the notion that drinking bottled water is part of a healthy life, and proves how it is damaging our health and the future of our planet’s resources.
