70/366: Recycle

Many people intend to recycle disposable water bottles; however, 69% of bottled water containers end up in the trash and not in a recycling container.


The average water filter pitcher filters 240 gallons of water a year for about 19 cents a day. Put in perspective, to get the same amount of water from bottled water would require 1,818 16.9-ounce water bottles a year.


It takes 2,000 times more energy to produce a bottle of water than it does to produce tap water.
