5. Read the text and choose the right options to complete the sentences.

Is your family like many others in different countries, buying weekly some bottled water into your home?

But all those plastic bottles use a lot of fuel and pollute the environment. Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, adding 29 billion water bottles a year to the problem. In order to make all these bottles, manufacturers use 17 million barrels of oil. That's enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months. Imagine a water bottle a quarter of which is filled with oil. That's about how much oil was needed to produce the bottle.

So why don't more people drink water straight out the kitchen tap? Some people drink bottled water because they think it is healthier for them than tap water, but that's not true. In most countries local governments make sure tap water is safe. There is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may come into the water.

People love the convenience of bottled water. But maybe if they realize the problems it causes, they will try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a steel container instead of plastic. Plastic bottle recycling can help - instead of going out with the trash, plastic bottles can be turned into items like carpets or cozy fleece clothes.

Unfortunately, for every six water bottles we use, only one gets to the recycling bin. The rest are sent to landfills. Or, even worse, they end up as trash on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bottles take many hundreds of years to disintegrate (разлагаться).

Water is good for you, so keep drinking it. But think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a change. Remember this: recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours.
