🧃 What’s the Problem with Plastic Bottles?

Plastic water bottles may be convenient, but they cause BIG problems for the Earth:

• They get tossed after just one use 😕

• Many end up in the ocean, where animals like dolphins and sea turtles can get hurt 🐬

• They take hundreds of years to break down 😲

Yikes! Time to find a better way!
