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.

Why Plastic Harmful?
Plastic pellets are magnets for toxic chemicals. 1
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

Hey guys, it's Meghan. If anyone has any data for the price per fluid oz. of water, please post it here or e-mail it me at meggerz123@comcast.net.
OUR PROJECT HAS TO BE COMPLETED TOMORROW!
Hey Everyone!It's Nathan. I was wondering why no one was using this blog to post their information yet! I have posted some helpful URLs for the Tap Water/Bottled Water Debate and the ABC link even includes a video that we can use as our own...(I think...) so please read these so you can help your groups tomorrow. Post whatever you would like on the blog, especially updates from the group leaders to tell any information you found. Let's work really hard tomorrow and be really efficient with time, so we can complete the majority of the project in class. Also, post on the blog what you are willing to do with the presentation/ideas of how we should present/the different research topics each group is covering, so we can all be on the same page tomorrow. If everyone sends me (or any of the other class leaders) their information, we can then print out pages for the class/a download so everyone will have each piece of infortmation.
Good luck and see you tomorrow!
P.S. I was wondering if someone could email me (nflanaganfrankl@gmail.com) for more information about the lab and the ppm of tap water...I forgot from class =\
