Buy Reusable Water Bottle for Everyday Use

Why not buying water bottles is such a big deal? – Americans use over 50 billion water bottles per year and send 38 billion water bottles to landfills annually, the equivalent of 912 million gallons of oil. – If laid end to end, that’s enough bottles to travel from the Earth to the Moon and back 10 times. – If placed in a landfill or littered, those bottles could take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade. – The energy we waste using bottled water would be enough to power 190,000 homes. – The average American uses 167 disposable water bottles per year, but only recycled 38. – Americans used about 50 billion plastic water bottles in one year. However, the U.S.’s recycling rate for plastic is only 23 percent, which means 38 billion water bottles — more than $1 billion worth of plastic — are wasted each year. But.. there is one but: You want your water to go! Your best choice is a stainless steel water bottle. Stainless steel bottles last a lifetime and are easy to clean – and water will always taste the same – good and clean. Why not plastic? Plastic water bottles contain chemical (bisphenol A or BPA), which can be very harmful to our health. BPA has been connected to causing hormonal problems and even cancer. Even though most reusable plastic bottles are recyclable and are a better choice than buying bottled water, the stainless steel bottles last so much longer, practically forever, that their lifespan way wins the plastic bottle’s.
