Green Tip #3: Make the Switch to a Reusable Bottle
Why Should I Care About Using A Reusable Bottle?
Reduce Waste
Americans, on average, only recycle about 23 percent of our plastic waste. That means that approximately 38 billion water bottles go straight into landfills every year.
Save Yourself Some $$
Think about all the money you could save if you didn't buy those water bottles! Even if you only buy 2 a week at $2.00 a pop you could save yourself $200+ a year!
Be Kind to Your Body
Plastic bottles contain (BPA), a chemical used to make plastic hard and clear. It has been proven that BPA is hazardous to human health. It has been linked to many health problems including: certain types of cancer, early puberty in girls, reduced fertility in women, and defects in newborn babies – just to name a few.
