Water Good, Plastic Bottles YUK!

Wednesday, March 03, 2010
From Term 2, we are encouraging students not to bring plastic water bottles to class. Why?

 

• Over 400,000 barrels of oil is used per year in Australia to manufacture the plastic to make the bottles

• Out of all plastic bottles only about 30% are recycled

• Tap water costs 1 cent per litre compared to bottled water which costs $2.53 per litre

• It takes seven litres of water to make a one litre water bottle

• There are 200 billion litres of bottled water consumed worldwide

Try one of the funky stainless steel bottles instead, or grab a drink from our studio tap using the cups provided. It’s the little things that count – thank you!
