Lets lower our unnecessary waste
Keep our fresh water clean
Our ocean does not need more plastic!
BPA is a neurotoxin commonly found in Plastic water bottles, it is also an estrogen like compound which is known to lower your sperm count, alter sperm, and cause other hormonal disruptions. BPA is an endocrine disruptor linked to breast and prostate cancer.

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. Taxpayers pay hundreds millions of dollars each year in disposal and litter cleanup costs.
The Earth Policy Institute factors the energy used to pump, process, transport and refrigerate our bottled water as over 50 million barrels of oil every year.

All these Universities have already done so:
• Brown University- Rhode Island
• Central Michigan University- Michigan
• College of St. Benedict- Minnesota
• Concordia University- Canada
• Cornell University- New York
• Dartmouth College- New Hampshire
• Emerson College- Massachusetts
• Evergreen State College- Washington
• Georgian College- Canada
• Hampshire College- Massachusetts
• Harvard University- Massachusetts
• Loyola University- Illinois
• Macalester College- Minnesota
• Muhlenberg College- Pennsylvania
• Princeton University- New Jersey
• Seattle Central Community College
• St. Mary’s College- Canada
• St. Michael’s College- Vermont
• St. Norbert College- Wisconsin
• UC Berkeley- California
• University of Nevada, Las Vegas- Nevada
• University of Toronto- Canada
• University of Vermont- Vermont
• University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point- Wisconsin
• University of Wisconsin Madison- Wisconsin-NEW!
• Vancouver Isla
