Plastic water bottles and aluminum cans have been used to deliver our favorite beverages to us for several decades. However, there are still no good recycling or eco-friendly dumping options for plastic bottles. Plastic bottles are used mostly for bottled drinking water, with Americans spending more than $13 billion annually on the product. While many people buy bottled water due to its health benefits, lack of drinking water or mere convenience, most of us do not realize it is equally easy to use reusable bottles. It is cheaper and healthier, too. Plus, it is much easier on the environment, more convenient and soft on your budget to use customized reusable water bottles for your drinking water needs.
Several advertisements for bottled water companies show their water coming from beautiful mountains and breathtaking rivers. What most of us don’t realize is that the natural landscape shown in these advertisements is massively and adversely affected as water from natural rivers is routed away and into water bottles. This routing means the water bodies are slowly deprived, and all life downstream is affected. Wildlife is affected and is slowly moving towards extinction. Droughts and erosion are widespread.
