Let’s Talk About Plastic Bottle Pollution
•The US generates more than 35 million tons of plastics but recycles just 8.3% of it.
•Americans throw away 35 billion empty water bottles a year.
•2 billion plastic bottles leaked into the oceans in 2016, the equivalent of a truckload of single use plastics every minute of every day.
•By 2040, the amount of plastic waste in the ocean will triple and will equal the weight of fish and aquatic mammals.
•It takes almost 2,000 times the energy to manufacture a bottle of water than it does to produce tap water. It is also 2,000 times the cost per gallon.
•The production of bottled water uses 17 million barrels of oil a year. That’s slightly more than it would take to fill one million cars a year with fuel.
•It takes 3 times the amount of water in a bottle of water to make it as it does to fill it.
