Did you know, that because of its slow rate of decay, a large majority of all plastics ever produced still exist today – somewhere?
Now when you realize that just bottled water alone produces up to 1.5 billion tons of plastic bottle waste every year, we have a serious issue that needs to be addressed.
The plastic used to bottle beverages is high quality and most definitely in demand by recyclers, yet over 80% of the plastic bottles are just simply thrown away!
And of those 80%, what percentage actually makes it to a garbage can? There is a high volume of current plastic waste floating on the major oceans of the world, causing a great risk to the health of the marine life, killing birds and fish who mistake it for food.
We all want to have clean, filtered drinking water but at what cost to the health of our environment are we willing to go to have it?
The smart and “green” solution? Filter your own tap water (such as reverse osmosis home filter) and “bottle” it in a reusable, environmentally safe container, such as stainless steel or glass.
Everyone wins!
