 Text Support

"Copy quotes from the text that support/explain her point." (2+ quotes. Also write what paragraph the quote came from.)  Example:
  • "Bottled water costs 2,000 times more than tap." (7)
  •  "Spend money improving water systems." (28)
  • "People are choosing to pocket...they would otherwise be wasting on bottled water. " (32)                                                                           
Summary: (Summarize the point she's making.)
Drinking tap water saves money because... it's free. If free tap water systems were improved more people would have access to free, healthy water.
Find at least 2-3 quotes from the text that support each point. Then summarize each of her four main points.

Health:
