Video Reflection: Cosmetics and Bottled Water



These videos were very interesting, by showing the impacts of items that are used in our everyday lives, such as cosmetics and bottled water. The information that the video provided seem to cover the underlying issues of these two products explaining that cosmetics use 12000 different chemicals in their products. A rather alarming amount of toxic chemicals that are being applied straight to the body and then washed off down your drains. When looking at this product it is a requirement to see the post purchase affects of the product, such as these chemicals reaching our waterways and harming our aquatic life. I found it surprising that i never thought of cosmetics in this light mostly as i didn't know how many chemicals are used in the making of them.



Bottled water has been really under the microscope for years now showing the false product that it really is, this has been shown throw marketing campaigns. Although the information shown about bottled water i had already found out from previous sources of information, it was still a confronting issue.
