BPA is an endocrine disruptor linked to breast and prostate cancer. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/ban-the-bottle-2/… We use 17 million barrels of oil each year just to produce single use water bottles Americans buy an estimated 42.6 billion single-serving (1 liter or less) plastic water bottles each year. Almost eight out of ten end up in a landfill or incinerator. Hundreds of millions end up as litter on roads and beaches or in streams and other waterways.
