QUESTION Large island of waste in the Caribbean
The stats in the clip are for the UK only. The following is the US from 8 yrs ago.
"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 Litres of tap water a day only costs 50 cents per year.Oct 15, 2009"
Please help our planet by cutting back or eliminating the use of single use plastics. Thanks!
