Why Should I kick bottled water?
- Plastic water bottles can take over 1,000 years to biodegrade. Can you imagine the water bottle you took to the gym will still exist in 3022? - Just because you put your water bottle in the recycling bin, does not mean it gets recycled. There are many barriers to actually having your recyclables get recycled...and it is likely that your water bottles just end up in the landfill. - It is estimated that U.S. landfills have over 2 million tons of discarded water bottles. - It takes 1.5 million+ barrels of oil to manufacture water bottles in the U.S. This does not include the amount of oil needed to transport water to the market. - Approximately 3 liters of water are needed to package on liter of bottled water.
