Water Bottle Woes

I had an Epiphany this morning while washing the 17 hardly-dirty water
glasses left by the 5 occupants of this house after one day - Buying a Re-Usable Water bottle will do the following things:
1. Less Water Waste. Whether by hand or by hose, less dishes means less water - and less work!

2. You'll Drink More Water. We could all use a little more H2O (So I've heard) Investing money into something usually means you will use it.

3. Reduce Plastic Bottle Consumption - only 10% of which actually gets recycled.
Carry your new water bottle with you in your car or bag and use it instead of buying disposables. This will help reduce the 1.5 million tons of Plastic waste a year. (Which I heard all ends up in a garbage patch twice the size of Texas in the North Pacific)

I could keep going and searching more sites and statistics to put in front of you but at the end of the day, YOU need to be the one who will make the choice.
I dare you to start typing: plastic water bottles into Google and choose from one of the suggestions.
Take 5 minutes to think about the impact on so many different spheres and species. Then ACT. Buy a re-usable (or REVIVE an old one!) and show it off. Take a picture of your water bottle and Post it on Facebook. Tell people why it's the most important purchase of the week, and encourage them to do the same. Save Money, Be Healthy, Make Change.
Looking forward to seeing all of your lovely Water Bottle Pictures!

Most call me MJ, although I don't have moves anywhere NEAR those of Michael Jackson. To sum it all up...I want to make the world a better place! Any ideas? Lets talk...
