Take another Plastic Free step and ‘Break the Bottled Water Habit’
Posted On: Sep 30, 08The New American Dream website is challenging us to ‘Break the Bottled Water Habit’ and encourage our work places, family, and friends to use reusables. Bottled Water comes in plastic bottles that are #1 and #2. These are meant for single-use only. 
86% of all bottles of water do not get recycled! Not to mention the amount of energy it takes to create them, ship them, store them, and then recycle or dispose of them. Did you know it takes 3 liters of water to create a 1 liter bottle of water? Now that seems very wasteful when most of us have excellent tap water at home, over 90% of the water systems in America are above the EPA standards.
Please join the Plastic Free Hale’iwa group effort by taking the pledge and encouraging your friends and family to do the same.
