The Problem:

The average US citizen purchases over 200 plastic water bottles annually.

• Plastic water bottles are Expensive – the average person spends $400 per year on bottled water.
• Plastic water bottles are Dangerous – 35% of consumers think bottled water is safer than tap water, but scientists say they are wrong. Polycarbonate water bottles exposed to hot temperatures in a tractor trailer or the trunk of a car can leech cancer-causing bisphenol-A (BPA).
• Plastic water bottles are Wasteful – According to the Earth Policy Institute, 17 million barrels of oil were used to produce the 28 billion plastic water bottles purchased in the US in 2004 – enough to fuel 100,000 cars for a year. Eighty-six percent of water bottles end up in the landfill.
• Plastic water bottles are Polluting – 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide was produced in the manufacturing of these bottles.
