TRUTH !!
1,500 is the number of plastic water bottles consumed in 1 second in the US!
Here a few more shocking statistics ...
Out of the 50 billion bottles of water being bought each year, 80% end up in
a landfill, even though recycling programs exist.

17 million barrels of oil are used in producing bottled water each year.

Bottled water costs 1,000 times more than tap water. Drinking 2 Liters of
tap water a day only costs 50 cents per year.

Plastic leaches toxins into the water, which have been linked to health
problems such as reproductive issues and cancer.
