DIY: Edible Water Bottles AND WHY WE NEED THEM

Did You Know? Making water bottles for America alone uses more than 17 million barrels of oil annually, enough to fuel 1.3 million cars for a year Last year in America, only 1.8% of water bottles used were recycled One water filter pitcher can replace up to 300 standard water bottles Plastic water bottles take over 1,000 years to bio-degrade and if incinerated, they produce toxic fumes 90% of the cost of bottled water is just the bottle 38 million water bottles go to the dump per year in America http://www.banthebottle.net/bottled-water-facts / http://thewaterproject.org/bottled_water_wasteful http://greenupgrader.com/3258/plastic-bottle-facts-make-you-think-before-you-drink/
