“It takes 15 million barrels of oil per year to make all of the plastic water bottles in America, according to the Container Recycling Institute. Sending those bottles by air and truck uses even more fossil fuel. Meanwhile, it takes 1,000 years for plastic bottles to break down.”
From “Bottle Backlash” by Asbury Park Press
