So, you like bottled water?

Okay, so you buy bottled water.

Did you know that the average 20ounce bottle weighs 7 ounces in plastic.

If you drink one bottle a day then you produce 159 pounds of trash a year in just bottles.
that's more than a welterweight boxer.

You may drink two bottles of water a day. That would be 318 pounds of garbage produced.
three bottles? 477 pounds.

that's as much as a male grizzly bear.

Now a bottle of water (or other soft drink ), not bought in bulk, costs roughly $1.
That's $365 dollars saved right there if your a one bottle a day person.

You may buy in bulk to save money. Well. if you pay just $0.30 per bottle (very cheap) then you still are spending $110 in water per year if you drink just one a day.

You still want the hydration, right?

Here are some easy alternatives.

1. Get a water bottle. I would recommend a Klean Kanteen.
They look sweet and will save you green. ( click me to check them out)
