Exercise 1.2: Structured Argument

The use of bottled water is a controversial topic. Some people claim that bottled water is expensive compared to tap water, so people should use tap water and save themselves a large amount of money each year. Others, however, believe that the arguments against bottled water aren't too convincing. They say that the refillable water bottles get moldy and dirty from overuse. While both sides of this issue have merit, I believe that the real solution is to convert to tap water, no matter how inconvenient it may be to some people. It costs less and produces less waste on the environment.
