Tappening: No more plastic water bottles

Diet & Weight Loss, Reviews & Products, Alternative & Green Health

Did you know that roughly only one out of four plastic bottles get recycled? The rest find their way into landfills and just sit there for generations to come. And when you think about it, it's kind of silly. We use oil and energy and create pollution for a plastic bottle that's filled with something we can get at our own tap. (Not to mention that bottled water is outrageously priced when you compare it to pouring your own glass.)

I know, I know. It was hard for me to give up my bottled water habit too. They're so convenient, after all. But when you think about it, really think about it, it just makes since to carry a reusable bottle instead. One option is to order a plastic reusable bottle from Tappening, a website and blog that hopes to carry the message "Think Global, Drink Local" to the masses.
