FUN FACTS

New Yorkers drink over 1,000,000,000 bottles of water every year.

On average, bottled water costs 900 times the amount of tap water.

This year, Americans will spend $40 billion on bottled water.

25% of all bottled water is re-packaged tap water.

Tap water regulation has more stringent governmental standars than that of bottled water regulation.

The amount of oil required to put one bottle of water in your hand would fill 1/4 of that same bottle.

90% of used water bottles are not recycled.

Right now, millions of pounds of trash are floating in the Pacific Ocean to form an 'island' at least twice the size of Texas. 90% of that trash is discarded plastic.
