BEAT THE BOTTLE STOP PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES

WHICH ONE OF THESE IS GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT? Trick Question: None of them!

BRAND NAME LIARS!

WHAT OTHER LIES? Where does the water come from? 40% of bottled water is drawn from municipal sources. That water gets filtered, put in a bottle and sold back to you Where’s the cost come from? Bottled water costs between $1 and $4 per gallon and 90% of the cost is in the bottle, lid, and label. Are they safe? NO! Plastic water bottles contain BPA and Antimony (more info coming up!)

WHAT IS BPA? BPA stands for Bisphenol A Effects of BPA include (but are not limited to): Persistent effects on body weight Issues with fetal and infant brain development and behavior, Various dopaminergic processes resulting in hyperactivity attention deficits A heightened sensitivity to drugs Attacks endocrine (hormonal) system Adverse effects on thyroid hormone action May increase cancer risk

ANTIMONY Antimony is found in PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles Small Doses Dizziness Depression Large Doses Nausea Vomiting Death

COST The recommended eight glasses of water a day, at U.S. tap rates equals about $.49 per year; that same amount of bottled water is about $1, times the cost of tapped water Bottled water costs between $1 and $4 per gallon and 90% of the cost is in the bottle, lid, and label

STOP PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES IN NY! If everyone in NYC gave up water bottles for one week, they would save… 24 million bottles from going into the landfill. If they gave up water bottles for one month they would save… 112 million bottles from going into the landfill. If they give up water bottles for one year they would save… billion bottles from going into the landfill.

THIRD WORLD & PLASTIC BOTTLES Water bottles that are not recycled go to a landfill or to third world countries. Apparently, it is cheaper to give third world countries money and our junk then saving our planet and recycling. Washington sure has its priorities!

I CAN’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE! YES YOU CAN!!!! Stop using plastic water bottles Motivate your friends to do the same

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO? Buy a Reusable Water Bottle Start a Page on a Social Network Sign a Declaration at Write a letter/ to the government Tell celebrities to stop endorsing bottled water at Watch Tapped: The Movie at Get Local Community Support
