One Bottle at a Time

The Issue

By refusing to buy bottled water, you are in turn preventing one more water bottle from ending up in a land fill.

-Plastic bottles take over 1,000 years to bio-degrade into toxic waste
-80% of plastic bottles in the U.S are not recycled
-38 million plastic bottles go to the dump per year in the U.S. from bottled water (not including soda)
-Over 1 million seabirds are killed by plastic waste per year
-Over 100,000 marine mammals and fish die each year due to plastic pollution

-1 billion people around the world still lack the access to a safe water source, the $100 billion the world spends on producing bottle water every year could be put to better use by creating safe public water infrastructure

-A water bottle filled 1/4 the way up with oil is how much oil was used to produce the bottle

You can stop the madness.

Bottled Water = Tap Water

Thank you for making the pledge
