The Environmental Advantages of Reusable Water Bottles

In a pinch, disposable water bottles can be very convenient. But that convenience comes at a high cost—disposable water bottles take up space in our landfills and pollute our oceans. What’s more, they take an incredible amount of resources to produce. Creating one year’s worth of water bottles uses up a whopping 17 million barrels of oil.

Before you buy a package of bottled water at the grocery store, consider your other options. Reusable water bottles are a cheaper, safer and more sustainable alternative to disposable ones.
