Disposable Plastic Bottle Facts

  • Plastic bottles require up to 700 years to dissolve.
  • 90% of the cost of bottled water is the bottle itself.
  • 80% of plastic bottles never get recycled.
  • 38 million plastic bottles go to landfill each year in America alone.
  • 24,000,000 liters of oil is needed to produce these billions of plastic bottles.
  • Bottling water and shipping transport is the least energy efficient method of water supply in the history of humankind.
  • Although the possibility of buying bottled water is simple and convenient for you, think about the impact on the environment​

Mirit's Project
In a student's bat mitzvah year, it is tradition to do a project that contributes something good to the community.  My theme is to promote things we can do to prevent climate change.  I have noticed that MPVA uses a ton of disposable water bottles and I'd like to fix this by raising money to purchase and install a water bottle filling station in the school on an existing water fountain.  I am also designing an MPVA reusable water bottle and encouraging people to use them throughout the school day (check back soon for a photo).  I plan to sell them as an additional fundraiser for the school.
