Would you drink a cup of oil if we gave you $100,000? Some may say yes, but most of you sensible people will say no. Why? Because oil tastes like s#*& and it can kill you.
The honest fact is that it takes one cup of oil to make one of those cheap plastic water bottles you use everyday. Water pollution is no joking matter. You might even have one of these things in front of you right now. We get it. Tap water tastes gross and could be unsafe at times. Plastic water bottles are a convenient and cheap way to carry all the h20 you need. Plastic bottles are everywhere, you can’t escape them.
We bet you love your grandparents. They were a part of a great generation that gave us a lot of innovation to make our lives better in almost every way. But did you know that every water bottle they used stills exists! Every molecule of plastic ever made still exists in the world and adds to our current water pollution. We can at times repurpose our plastic pollution to make other items but this takes time and additional resources. The sad truth is that only one in six plastic bottles makes it to the recycling bin. For every bottle that is recycled there are five others which are left in a landfill or out floating in the ocean.
Americans use 29 billion plastic bottles every year. If you were to place each of the bottles end to end the trail of plastic bottles would wrap around the earth four times. That is a crazy amount of plastic we use every year.
You buy a water bottle because you know the water is clean and safe. You most likely looked at buying a metal bottle or multi-use bottle but those don’t make the water taste any better. Welcome to the Oasis.
