Best Website: http://www.nrdc.org/water/drinking/qbw.asp
NRDC stands for National Resource Defense Council. The information on the website showed both the pros and cons of the plastic water bottle controversy. Also, it gave information on the President of the organization and gave multiple ways to contact and give feedback on the website. It also answered a ton of the commonly asked questions about the subject.
Worst Website: http://www.tappening.com/
Tappening.com was the worst website because it provided no information about the makers of the site. Although the information did seem somewhat reliable, It was very biased towards the pro tap water side of the controversy. It also had lots of advertising for certain things such as message in a bottle, movies, and a book.
Final Question:
I have always been very against pollution and littering and especially after reading these articles my dislike of the water bottle industries has increased. According to NRDC, "About 22 percent of the brands we tested contained, in at least one sample, chemical contaminants at levels above strict state health limits." I also learned that some websites can tell you where the water in water bottles come from. I got most of my information from NRDC.
