Did you know that...
Americans use an estimated 28 billion plastic water bottles every year
Approximately 1.5 million barrels of oil --enough to run 100,000 cars for a whole year --are used to make plastic water bottles, while transporting these bottles burns even more oil
Only 24% of plastic bottles are recycled into other products. The rest 76% end up in landfills or the ocean, where it can take hundreds of years to decompose. Meanwhile, the plastic bottles are producing a toxic chemical called phthalate that is absorbed by the soil
One gallon of bottled water costs the same as 10,000 gallons of tap water (when you account for the production process)
Recycling a single plastic bottle can conserve enough energy to light a 60-watt ligt bulb for 6 hours
Two gallons of water are used in the purification process for every gallon that goes into bottles
And if you thought bottled water is safer...
Tap water is actually held to more stringent quality standards than bottled water, and some brands of bottled water are just tap water in disguise
