Bottled water has a huge impact on the health of our planet.  The convenience of bottled water outweighs its negative impact on the environment.

According to experts:  

80% of all plastic water bottles become garbage or end up in a landfill.

(Container Recycling Institute)

The energy used to make bottled water would be enough to power 190,000 homes.

But refilling your water bottle from the tap requires no expenditure of energy, and zero waste of resources. (PBS Point of View 2004)

Water bottles produced for the US requires more than 1.5 million barrels of oil annually. That's enough to fuel 100,000 cars. (Earth Policy Institute)

Please, do your part and stop buying bottled water.  There is an environmentally conscience reusable manufacturer call Nalgene.  These water bottles are durable, inexpensive, can be used repeatedly and are widely recyclable. For more information visit www.nalgene-outdoor.com.

Instead of drinking bottled water, use your tap water and flavor it with an organic, natural drink mix concentrate such as Flavrz- www.flavrzdrinkmix.com
