Plastic water bottles. Most are ‘one time usage’. Most think that just putting them into the recycle system solves the problem. It does not.

But it is the CREATION of the plastic water bottle that is the root of the issue. All those cases of plastic encased drinks,whether water or juice or soda …. it supports a practice that is contributing to the devastation of our Planet.

Each person has the power to stand against this. The less that is purchased, the less demand, the less profitable it is to the giant oil and gas companies.

This is our HOME. The only one we have.

Be the Change.

“Plastic production tends to be really wasteful. A huge portion of the plastics industry is packaging—material that is immediately thrown away. In 2010 alone, over 1.5 million tons of plastic bottles ended up in the trash, and under a third of plastic bottles are recycled. Moreover, many of the bottles that are thrown away end up in the ocean. A 2015 study estimated that nearly 200 coastal countries generated over 600 billion pounds of plastic waste in 2010 — and between 11 and 27 billion pounds of this ended up in the oceans. We’ll continue to see increasingly littered oceans if the plastics bonanza continues.”
