Water, coffee, tea and more . . .We take our beverages on the go, but the cost to the environment is staggering.
- Americans discard 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour.
- A million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute and the number will jump another 20% by 2021.
- Americans used about 50 billion plastic water bottles last year. However, the U.S.’s recycling rate for plastic is only 23 percent, which means 38 billion water bottles – more than $1 billion worth of plastic – are wasted each year.
- In the U.S. Airline industry, 9 billion plastic cups are used annually.
- 58 billion paper cups are thrown away in the U.S. annually. Most paper cups can’t be recycled because they are coated with plastic.
- Disposable paper cups contain 5% polyurethane plastic, making composting and recycling of disposable cups extremely rare.
- Half a trillion disposable cups are manufactured annually around the world; that’s over 70 disposable cups for every person on the planet.
- If you buy just one cup of coffee or tea in a disposable cup every day, you’ll end up creating about 23 lbs. of waste in one year.
This Earth Day, take the pledge to bring your own bottle wherever you roam.
