Tapped (1:15) Release: 2009

Tapped is a documentary that looks at the high demand and use of bottled water. It takes a look at how  big corporations are making 700 billions dollars a year by turning water into a commodity rather than a basic human right. The documentary moves on and examines the world of the plastic bottle. These bottles are made using petrochemicals. About five minutes into listening to residents living near oil refineries, I began thinking how my household will be sticking to tap water, glass bottles or aluminum cans from now on. Tapped ends by examining how plastic bottles are ending up on beaches and in the ocean. Each one of our oceans has a section twice the size of Texas called a Garbage Patch or Grye. As the plastic breaks down, fish are eating the plastic. In these ocean areas, there is more plastic then plankton. I learned a lot from this documentary. Granted, it tells a one sided story as Nestle, Coke and Pepsi declined to be interviewed for this film. My suggestion is see it for yourself, it is eye opening.
