ECOTIP #5: Break the bottled water habit. 30 million bottles of water are consumed each day. Bottled water uses petroleum to create, store, and transport all those bottles, all of which further pollute the air and water. It also uses up to a gallon of water to rinse the plastic bottles clean of manufacturing dust before they can be used to store water for drinking. Bottled water has also not been proven to be any safer than tap and is often simply purified tap water anyway. By buying bottled water, you support industry over public health with every dollar. Instead, carry your own bottle and refill it with tap water.
