Choosing a reusable water bottle like the Nalgene will not only save you money, but save the environment too!
1. Americans consume more than 29 million
bottles of water per year.
Making the plastic for those bottles uses 17 million
barrels of crude oil.
Americans recycle just 19% of all
plastic water bottles used.
Invest $8 in a Nalgene reusable water bottle and
save 29.2 gallons of bottled water per person.
