The bottled water industry is a known environmental and economic disaster that harms the environment every single day.
By releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, polluting our natural water, threatening marine life, and so much more.
Here’s some quick perspective:
Environmental –
o Plastic bottles take up to 450 years to dissolve
o 80% of plastic bottles never get recycled
o 17 million barrels of crude oil are used to make 29 billion bottles every year
o It takes a quarter of a liter of oil to produce a single one-liter water bottle
o The average American consumes 217 bottles of water per year
o Over 100,000 marine animals are killed by plastic pollution annually
Economic –
o Getting a reusable water bottle can save you hundreds to thousands of dollars per year
o Bottled water is almost 2,000 times the price of tap water
o Americans spend $1,000 on average per year on water bottles
o It would cost $0.48 for that same amount using tap water
o Global bottled water consumption has surpassed 100 billion gallons
o You can only use a plastic water bottle once, but you can use a reusable water bottle for over 10 years!
