Wean Yourself off the Water Bottle

You know plastic water bottles are bad. But do you know how bad? Americans go through an estimated 70 million-plus water bottles a day, and a mere 14 percent get recycled. It's not just that they're taking up space in our landfills. Vast quantities of oil are consumed to make, transport, and dispose of them. What's more, the manufacturing of plastic bottles actually requires two times more water than the bottles will ultimately contain-buy reusable water bottles instead, some even have filters!
