Stop buying bottled water, juice and soft drink, 255°

Single-use plastic bottles have been identified as a common oceanic pollutant by the research vessel Alguita (see http://orvalguita.blogspot.com/).

Drink it once. Throw it away. That single-use bottle will be in existence for 500 years, maybe longer. Plastics break down eventually, but only into small pieces of plastic.

Take a stand, and buy a re-usable drinking bottle. Stop buying plastic-packaged soft drink, juice, water and energy drinks.

There's nothing healthy about a polluted planet with plastic-dumped seas.

If you must, filter your own. eg:http://www.durand.com.au/ and fill your own bottles.

Much cheaper in the long run and very little environmental impact.

82% of litter from an outdoor concert or event is PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES. Makes you sad.
