Just say NO to plastic

Next time you go purchase bottled drinking water or any plastic bottle, think about this..."  1,500 water bottles end up as garbage EVERY SECOND. 26,000,000,000 liters means 17,000,000 barrels of OIL that was used to produce those plastic bottles. That OIL could have been enough to fuel about 100,000 cars for that year."    Not to mention where this plastic ends up if it isn't recycled.

 Next time you mindlessly strip wads of toilet paper off the roll, think about this..." If each household bought one recycled roll of toilet tissue, it would actually save 111,162 trees." http://www.you-can-go-green.com/2009/07/how-many-trees-does-it-take-to-make-one.html
