Bottle water consumption is down in the US


Good news, bottled water consumption is down in the US. The bad news is that although bottle water consumption is down, it will still increase in sales about 6.7%. Since bottle water came on the scene it's sales have increased in sales every year by at least 15% annually. This is the first year that it's growth is under 10%. Despite it's decline there is still a quite large amount of bottles reaching our landfills everyday. If you purchase bottle water please reuse and recycle them. In some states tap water is actually used in bottle water, it's just filtered like a Brita filter. I have previously posted about myths of bottle water please read that.

And yes that was me handing out recycle bags to fellow tailgaters at the Jets Pats game yesterday.
