Plastic, hideous plastic.........

~Can you believe that plastic materials can remain in the environment for up to 2,000 years?  In fact, all the plastic ever made is still in the environment today.

~60 million plastic water bottles are thrown away daily.
Stainless steel bottles
are fabulous.

~It is estimated Americans use around 180 water bottles every year.

~It actually takes over 22 gallons of water to make a single pound of plastic.  If one just person gave up single use water bottles, we could save 30 pounds of plastic on a yearly basis.

Glass bottles with
bamboo lids.  I love
these!
~BPA (Bisphenol A) is a chemical that is used in manufacturing polycarbonate plastics and almost all Americans over the age of 6 years old test positive for this toxin.

~Enough plastic is thrown away yearly to circle the earth four times.

~Stop using/buying bottles of water.  Buy a few high quality bottles and refill them.  Here are a few that we love!
