    Green Tip of the Week for May 17

    in Green Tips

    Bottled water is not healthier or safer than tap water, because it is not regulated as strictly. Bottled water costs a lot more than tap water, requires 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce, and produces 1.5 million tons of plastic waste each year. Multinational bottled water corporations purchase groundwater and distribution rights to commoditize a basic human right: the access to safe and affordable water. Instead, use a stainless steel thermos or if you don’t like your tap water’s taste, use a water filter.


    This tip comes from Cheryl Frank, Greece Baptist Church

    I have made a personal commitment not to use single use plastic water bottles. We can all carry a refillable water bottle and save all the plastic going into the environment - and why spend the money to use water that someone else has bottled for you. Bette for you and better for the environment!😊
