POLLUTION INFO
Pollution Group
Statistics
Bottled water creates pollution equivalent of 1.5 billion barrels of oil. 1
Plastic pollution in the ocean kills more than a million seabirds and 100,000 mammals and sea turtles annually. 1
A plastic bottle can take 50 - 80 years to decompose. 2
Americans use 2.5 million plastic bottles every HOUR.2
Today, Americans generate 10.5 million tons of plastic waste a year but recycle only 1 or 2 % of it.2
Nearly every piece of plastic EVER made still exists today. 2
Bottled water is under less surveillance than tap water and infections are more possible.
Supplying Americans with plastic water bottles for one year consumes more that 47 million gallons of oil, enough power 100,000 cars and take 1 billion pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmostphere. 7
1 billion plastic water bottles end up in California’s trash each year. 7
Large cities are discouraging the sale of bottled water in restaraunts.

DDT: one of the best known synthetic pesticides 4
PCBs belong to a broad family of man-made organic chemicals known as chlorinated hydrocarbons. 4
PCBs have been shown to cause cancer in animals. PCBs have also been shown to cause a number of serious non-cancer health effects in animals, including effects on the immune system, reproductive system, nervous system, endocrine system and other health effects. 4
Most plastics don’t biodegrade. 1
Scientists have discovered that microscopic pieces of plastic can be found everywhere in the oceans, inculding inside of plankton, which are the keystone of marine food chains. 1
Pumping water from springs causes drops in water levels of surrounding lakes 9Plastic bottles are made from nonrenuable resources, more than 1.5 million tons of plastic is used to make bottled water, which is the equivalent of 300,000 fully grown male elephants. 7
