Poland Spring Water Fact

Smaller Cap = Less Plastic 


Did you notice this bottle has a shorter cap? This is part of our ongoing effort to reduce our impact on the environment. This bottle and cap contain an average of 20% less plastic than our original 0.5 L Eco- Shape bottle and cap. 


This fact is important to know. It is a fun fact to know and it is interesting to know that using less plastic can help reduce our impact on the environment.As a teacher, I would use this fact to talk about how we can reduce our impact on the environment and help the environment be better.  As a teacher, I would also teach my students about recycling and what should be recycled. I would also tell my students not to throw out their water bottle but take their water bottles back to get a deposit, better the environment, and make some money.  As a future teacher, I would teach this fact to my students. Then when the test came I would use this fact as a bonus question.  It is a cool fact to know how to help reduce harm and how to reduce impact to the environment. 





This video talks about how it is not that easy being a bottled water CEO these days. Kim Jeffery top executive in a water company called Nestle Waters that produces bottle water.  It owns five of the top ten brands including Poland Spring, Deer Park, and Arrowhead. Its product has become controversy. The video shows how the water  bottle can one day be counted as a success and then the video shows how the water bottles are affecting the environment. The video goes on to show the raw materials needed for plastic bottles.  This video is important to hear to know how the plastic bottles are affecting the environment. This video is important to show how the environment is affected by plastic bottles. I feel that this video would be a good way to help teach students about the environment. It is important for students to learn about what is happening to the environment that the students live in. It is good that this video has pictures to show what is happening to the environment. This video would be good to show at the beginning of my lesson before introducing the topic of recycling which is important to help improve the environment and to have less of an impact on the environment.
