Bottled Water

America Recycles Day - Grab a Reusable Bottle and Drink Filtered Water

Next Monday, November 15th, is America Recycles Day.  Americans use 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour and most of them are thrown away and never recycled.  If you own a water filtration system, you don’t have to worry about recycling water bottles.  At LifeSource Water Systems, our mission is to eliminate bottled water from the planet.  We have a vision of having water filling stations on every campus, school, public facility, street corner, mall, or anywhere the public gathers.  Everyone would carry their own reusable drinking container and have access to clean and delicious water.  Once you read these surprising statistics, you will be even more convinced that a whole house water filter is the way to go. 

      •    We use 80,000,000,000+ aluminum soda cans a year.
      •    If every American recycled just 10% of their newspapers, we would save 25,000,000 trees a year.
      •    The amount of wood and paper we throw away each year is enough to heat 50,000,000 homes for 20 years.
      •    There is no limit to the amount of times aluminum can be recycled.
      •    Approximately 1 billion trees worth of paper are thrown away every year in the U.S.
      •    Mining and transporting raw materials for glass creates about 385 lbs of waste for 1 ton of new glass.
      •    Plastic bags and other plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kill a 1,000,000 sea creatures every year!
      •    The average American uses seven trees a year in paper, wood, and other products made from trees.
      •    Americans throw away 25,000,000,000 Styrofoam coffee cups every year.
      •    The energy saved from recycling one glass bottle can run a 100-watt light bulb for four hours or a CFL for 20 hours.
      •    An estimated 80,000,000 Hershey's Kisses are wrapped each day, using enough aluminum foil to cover over 50 acres
            or 40 football fields. All that foil is recyclable.
      •    100 acres of Rainforests get cut down every minute!
      •    A single quart of motor oil can contaminate up to 2,000,000 gallons of fresh water.
      •    A modern glass bottle would take 4000 years or more to decompose -- and even longer if it's in the landfill.

There is so much more we can do to recycle and eliminate waste.  Hopefully, these facts will encourage you to step up your commitment to recycling.  To learn more, visit the National America Recycles Day website.  At LifeSource Water, we take conservation seriously.  We hope you will, too.
