Bottled water err waste!!
Now to some serious thoughts
Did you know?
1. That the plastic bottles can leach harmful chemicals like bisphenol in to the water especially due to heat in cars etc?
2. Behind each bottle is oil (fossil fuel) which otherwise could have been used up for cars?
3. That 90% of the bottles end up as garbage? In spite of all those tall claims of recycle?
4. That the ones that end up in landfills will be there as a mark of our irresponsibility for millions of years!
5. That tonnes of PET bottles from California travelled all the way to Madras as waste (in the guise of recycle) and got illicitly dumped!
6. That 1500 bottles get trashed every second!
7. That in a test conducted by an NGO in the US, almost all leading brands of bottled water failed the basic health standards?
What can we do??
Carry your own stainless steel container.
It’s so easy..
