Alert: Break the Bottled Water Habit

Break the habit... the bottled water habit, that is. Sign the No Bottled Water Pledge!


Take the pledge to break the bottled water habit. Spread the word!


Bottled water isn't safer, it's a waste of money, and it's bad for the environment.


Did you know... bottled water contributes to global warming? It takes more than 47 million gallons of oil to produce plastic water bottles for Americans every year. Eliminating those bottles would be like taking 100,000 cars off the road and 1 billion pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Did you know... bottled water is less safe than our tap water? Bottled water companies like Coke, Nestle and Pepsi have spent millions of dollars convincing us that bottled water is better for us. The fact is, bottled water is less regulated than tap water, meaning that tap water is often safer!

Did you know... drinking bottled water undermines confidence in public tap water? Instead of wasting money on bottled water, we could be improving our public tap water systems to benefit future generations.


Even upscale restaurants like the famous Chez Pannise are making the switch to tap water –– you can too! Join us as we break the bottled water habit. Click here to sign the No Bottled Water Pledge and tell your friends.
