Mountains of plastic water bottles overflowing in our landfill sites are a common sight these days. Plastic is polluting our oceans and choking our sea creatures. Plastic is even turning up in our tap water and the main source of this plastic is bottled water, the billion dollar industry that is taking something that is essentially free around the world, packaging it, and selling it for profit. The bottled water industry is bad for the environment. Nearly 80 percent of plastic water bottles simply become litter in a landfill, creating 2 million tons of plastic bottle waste every year. Here are 10 things you might not know about the bottled water industry according to the Wellington Water Watchers, a water conservationist group located in Guelph, Ontario. We often feel helpless when it comes to finding solutions to environmental problems but this one is straightforward. The solution for eliminating this huge environmental problem is to stop buying bottled water and turn on your tap. Speak to one of our water experts or check our website for information on how you can drink the cleanest, freshest water right from your tap for a fraction of the cost of bottled water.
