With the summer season in full swing here in the Northern Hemisphere many people are finding themselves outside and active. With increased activity and hot air temperatures hydration is an important thing. I encourage you to STOP using single use plastic water bottles, and to also empower those around to you stop this nonsense. It's time to carry a refillable non-toxic plastic alternative water bottle for your hydration needs.
Single use plastics are having an incredibly detrimental impact on our environment. From poisoning and injuring marine life to disrupting human hormones. In terms of personal environmental goals; reducing single use plastic use should be one of the most important factors when evaluating your consumer decisions.
Plastic is made to last forever some sources state that plastic materials can remain in the environment for up to 2,000 years and longer. Worldwide, we have produced more plastic waste in the last 10 years than the entire last century. Many people know that plastic contaminants are in the environment contaminating our ocean water and accumulating in the sea life, but it may surprise you to hear that plastic fibers have been found in the drinking water, in both bottled water and tap waters.
