plastic waste is a major pollutant.

Every plastic bottle you use takes hundreds of years to break down. Clogging landfills and polluting earth and its oceans for generations.

Switch to a reusable water bottle and refill it from the tap or a filtered source.

bottled water is often just tap water.

Up to 64% of bottled water in America is just filtered tap water sold at a gigantic markup.

Use a home water filter if you're concerned about taste or safety.

bottled water is incredibly expensive.

You're paying up to 2,000x more per gallon than you are for tap water. Often more expensive than gasoline.

Spend a month writing down how much you're spending on bottled water, and tally up the amount at the end of the month. Then repeat the experiment with no bottled water. Compare the amounts.

plastic bottles leak chemicals.

Plastic bottles leak harmful substances like BPA and microplastics continuously. And they leak even more when exposed to heat.

Store water in a stainless steel or BPA-free reusable water-bottle.

recycling isn’t a real fix.

Only about a third of America's recyclables are actually recycled. Most of it ends up incinerated or in landfills.

Reduce your use of non-essential plastic goods. Cut it off at the source.

plastic pollution harms wildlife.

Plastic bottles contribute massively to ocean waste that kills and harms life in our oceans.

Stop drinking individually bottled water.

So once again. I ask you to please
