Save resources and the planet by drinking from a glass whenever you can, or use a refillable, stainless steel bottle when you are on the go.

Once discarded plastic water bottles are dumped into landfills, where they live forever.  Exempt from many state deposit laws, and most often used away from  home, where recycling bins are scarce, the majority of water bottles do not make it into the recycling stream.

In addition to the stress they are putting on our landfills, they are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a petroleum product, and their manufacturing process uses oil, a nonrenewable energy source, and increases CO2 emissions.
