DIY: Edible Water BottlesAND WHY WE NEED THEM
Did You Know?
Making water bottles for America alone uses more than 17 million barrels of oil annually, enough to fuel 1.3 million cars for a year
Last year in America, only 1.8% of water bottles used were recycled
One water filter pitcher can replace up to 300 standard water bottles
Plastic water bottles take over 1,000 years to bio-degrade and if incinerated, they produce toxic fumes
90% of the cost of bottled water is just the bottle
38 million water bottles go to the dump per year in America http://www.banthebottle.net/bottled-water-facts/http://thewaterproject.org/bottled_water_wasteful
