Listening

5 ≤ 4.07 Listen to five people talking about

environmental problems. Which speaker (A–E)

says …

Don’t reach for the bottle!

We are constantly being warned about climate

change and how much we contribute to the

environmental problems our planet is facing but

one thing each and every one of us can do to help

is literally at our fingertips. [ 1 ]

According to recent reports our obsession with

buying and drinking bottled water significantly

increases our carbon footprint. Apparently in

America, the largest market in the world for bottled

water, over eight billion gallons is consumed

annually and in the UK the market is worth more

than two billion pounds. [ 2 ]

What is interesting is that according to most

experts, bottled water is no better for us than

ordinary tap water. So, we have an alternative in our

own kitchens.

[ 3 ] They insist that their water tastes better,

has added minerals and comes in handy plastic

bottles that encourage us all to drink more water

wherever we are – something that many medical

experts consider to be good for our health. But does

this all really compensate for the 600 fold increase in

greenhouse gas that is put into the atmosphere by

producing and delivering the product? [ 4 ]

And what about the damage caused by the 75% of

plastic bottles that are not recycled but disposed of

in landfill sites? It has been calculated that drinking

one bottle of water has the same environmental

impact as driving for one kilometre in a car!

Many people also question the morality of buying a

product that is becoming so scarce in some parts of

the world that many people (like a third of those in

Fiji) do not have easy access to it. The moral issue

aside, is it really worth buying something that costs

2,000 times more than an alternative we can already

find in our homes? [ 5

1 climate change is exaggerated? Speaker

2 individuals can’t help? Speaker

3 what’s happening is natural? Speaker

4 it’s all our fault? Speaker

5 people don’t know enough? Speaker

B The popular Fiji water travels 10,000 miles

upmarket UK stores that sell it.

C And at what cost to the environment?

D However, not all bottled water has this effect

on health.

E These figures may not be surprising if we

compare them with other bottled drinks.

F Turn on the tap when we’re thirsty!
