HOW MUCH?

• That is 25,776,000 recycled.
• Only have 8% are used to remake energy
• That is 3,436,800 bottles used to remake energy

WHERE DOES IT GO?

PREVENTION

• Use reusable bottles
• Make your own drinks
• Drink tab water from sink rather than drink bottled water
• Use airtight bottles

We don't want the 86% go to landfill, we want the bottles to be INVISIBLE.
