Reduce Landfill Waste Did you ever think about how many bottles are discarded from bottled water alone? If an average family consumes 500 to 750 gallons of water in a year, that's the equivalent of up to 150 five-gallon plastic bottles, or 8,000 twelve ounce plastic bottles, or 12,000 eight ounce plastic bottles. And where do these bottles go? Into landfills. What a waste of resources and oil that is used to make these bottles! Link: |
