Break the Bottled Water Habit, Win a Prize and Cut Your Carbon

Submitted by Mike on Monday, October 6, 20082 Comments

Pledge and win prizes!

I’ve made my pledge, have you? You can save money, and protect the environment today by learning why bottled water is bad for the environment, and joining thousands of others who have pledged to stop buying tap water and wasting oil by switching to a reusable bottle. Did I also mention that by taking the pledge and getting others involved, you can potentially win one of several great prizes?

Check it out below:

Break the Bottled Water Habit, Win a Prize and Cut Your Carbon

When you want pure, healthy drinking water, you should reach for bottled water, right? Surprisingly, on neither a personal nor a global level are you making a healthy choice.

For each gallon of water bottled, two gallons are wasted; producing the plastic wastes  the energy equivalent of a quarter-bottle’s worth of oil. And what’s in the bottle could just be tap water.

New American Dream and Corporate Accountability International is asking you to think about where the water in that bottle came from, where the plastic is going, and take the Break the Bottled Water Habit pledge(water.newdream.org) and drink to a healthy ecosystem.

During October, make a conscious choice to slake your thirst without drying up our planet’s resources. In addition to benefiting the environment, participants will have a chance to win a free condo for a week at a ski resort in Idaho.  Visit the website (water.newdream.org) now to get started.

    I was reading a book today that was talking about bottled water and how many bottles are left floating all over. Not only are the bottles bad for the planet the plastics the bottles are made from contain toxins that are horrible for your health.
