Critics of bottled water note that the products often contain dangerous bacteria and other contaminants. They argue that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) needs to better regulate the contents of bottled water. Others argue that media watchdog groups and competition within the private sector, rather than more regulations, are the best solutions for improving the quality of bottled water.
People disagree on whether government or private groups should be designated to promote healthier water. What is your position?
Could we research about waste reduction and recycling management programs by state university or academy?
Implementing comprehensive waste management systems can significantly reduce emissions from waste. This includes promoting waste reduction, recycling or upcycling, and composting for organic waste.
Thank you
