Bad Bottles?
By: Olivia Wissig

Everyone wants to save the earth by re-using those re-usable bottles, but are they really that safe?! Research shows #3, 6, and 7 bottles are bad for the reproduction system! These bad bottles have a bad type of chemical called Biosphenol-A. This kind of chemical can be used in plastic containers and baby bottles! Many adults are worried about their young ones drinking out of unsafe bottles. This video reveals the answer.


Explain how you feel about this surprising topic. Should we go back to the disposable plastic bottles even though they are ruining our planet?

I think that we shouldn't go back to plastic bottles because they ruin our earth. Plastic bottles might be easy to make but they are not easy to dispose. Therefore, we should use reused plastic bottles. So we should not use those plastic bottles

you are right, hi I'm Jennifer Chen from last yearin Mr. Garrison's class. I'm in sixth grade at Lawson, and I happened to stumble upon your blogs. Anyway, back to the subject, in order to make 1 liter of water in a plastic bottle, it takes FIVE liters to produce one! Your writings are going great!! So keep up the good work, and I'll see some of you next year at Lawson!! If you want, you can email me at: jennifer.puppies@gmail.com

Great Post Olivia. I have a hard bottle that could store that chemical. But when I checked it out because of the movie and it just happened that it didn't have a number on it. Does that mean that the bottle is good or is the bottle bad?

Thank you for posting this blog. I instantaneously (my new vocab) checked my bottles for the number but luckily I didn't have it on my bottle. I think that we should use bottles that aren't made by chemicals, plastic, or any man made metals. I can guarantee that many people get sick because of those bottles instead of regular fevers or colds. I know lots of little kids that chew on plastic bottles. A few months ago there were these little beads called Aqua Dots and they had some kind of chemical. One baby ate a few of them and started to go crazy in the hospital and they had to remove the beads from his body. Many of these chemical man made items really can hurt us.

I checked my woter bottle and it says other, but when I watched to video, under 7 it said other so does that mean it's bad?
