 Only one out of four plastic water bottles that are bought are actually recycled. This means
that 75% of the water bottles that are purchased are just thrown out in the garbage, and
are taking up space in our landfills, which are filling up quickly.
 Plastic bottles are among the most prevalent source of pollution found on our beaches.
 Many sea creatures suffer from plastic pollution.
 The solution is to embrace a cultural shift away from use-and-toss mentality: Each high-
quality reusable, BPA-free bottle can eliminate thousands of disposable bottles.
