Up to 2 million empty plastic bottles end up in our
landfills, lakes, streams & oceans where they
may never fully decompose
In order to produce plastic water
bottles, it requires up to 47 million
gallons of oil per year. That’s
enough to fuel about 1.5 million
cars a year
Take Back the Tap!
Buy your own re-usable
water bottles and start
drinking tap water!
