A single Brita® pitcher and filter
(1 pound of plastic) can replace 300 standard 16.9 ounce containers of bottled water (15 pounds of plastic), thus saving energy and the use of petrochemicals to make plastic. And that doesn't include the fuel needed to transport bottled water from plant to store. |
