Water Wagons are the best solution to the misuse of plastic water bottles. Plastic bottles are simply unnecessary and wasteful. It takes oil to make them, oil to transport them and oil to cool them. It even takes oil to recycle them.
It is estimated that 2.7 million tons of plastic are used to bottle water each year. Of these bottles, 86% become trash or litter. That’s 3.8 billion bottles a year in the trash and another 1 000 years for them to biodegrade.
Consumers can spend from 240 to over 10 000 times more for bottled water than they typically do for tap water. Further, the quality of bottled water is not as well regulated as municipal water systems. Public water is clean, safe, accessible and affordable.
