Save earth Sunday is an event I made to help the planet. Every week on Sunday I will post eco tips we can all use daily to help impact the earth. Feel free to post your own eco tip(s) as well and don't forget to leave me a link to your post so I can do it too.
This weeks tip: Instead of Buying Bottled Water, Get a Refill. Ever see an empty water bottle tossed by the side of the road? Less than 20% of those single-use containers make it to the recycling bin. They also waste fuel for shipping — water is heavy! Get a cool metal bottle instead and fill it up when you're thirsty, and cut down on the expense and waste.
I use a reusable water bottle as often as possible, but the thing is, I take my cans and bottles to the recycling center where you are paid in exchange for bringing the cans and bottles in. Now that I've been using the reusable water bottle more there's always less plastic bottles for me to turn in. I know it's much better for the environment, but I must say I've been losing out out on the extra change quite a bit! :)
