| Sample translations submitted: 1 | English to Italian: Addicted to the bottle | Source text - English
Bottled water might well be one of the most needlessly wasteful products of modern times. The plastic is made from petroleum, at manufacturing plants that consume plenty of energy and spew emissions. Once filled, the bottles are shipped across the country on trucks that consume more fossil fuel and emit more pollutants. And in the ultimate irony, the Pacific Institute has found that three gallons of water are consumed by industry to produce every gallon of bottled water. Also ludicrous: about 40 percent of the water sold in containers comes from regular city water supplies. Then there's the garbage: Americans purchased 28 billion single-serving water bottles in 2007 and recycled only about 20 percent of them; the rest went into landfills.
The solution is not hard to decipher: drink water from the tap. And if you must have a bottle with you to fend off certain dehydration in case you're stranded miles and hours away from any possible source of freshwater, buy a reusable bottle and refill it.

Schiavi della bottiglia
L’acqua in bottiglia può senza dubbio essere considerata uno dei prodotti più inutili e dispendiosi dei nostri tempi. La plastica è un derivato del petrolio e per produrla gli impianti consumano molta energia e riversano nell’atmosfera emissioni dannose. Una volta riempite, le bottiglie vengono trasportate per molti chilometri su camion che consumano ulteriore energia e producono nuove emissioni. Dulcis in fundo, il Pacific Institute, un istituto americano di ricerca per l’ambiente, ha calcolato che, per produrre un litro di acqua in bottiglia, ne sono necessari tre. La cosa assurda è che circa il 40 percento dell’acqua venduta in contenitori proviene da normali acquedotti cittadini. Per non parlare poi dei rifiuti: in America, ad esempio, dei 28 miliardi di bottigliette d’acqua consumate, solo il 20% è stato riciclato, il resto è finito nelle discariche.
La soluzione è semplice: bere l’acqua del rubinetto. E se è proprio necessario portare con sé una bottiglietta per difendersi da sicura disidratazione in caso si restasse bloccati lontano da ogni possibile fonte d’acqua potabile, perché non comprare una bottiglia riutilizzabile e riempirla?
