Early morning alarm clocks, after-school activities, and late-night homework mean one thing: it's officially back-to-school season. As you pack up the kiddos pens, notebooks, and folders, don't forget to bring along one of their greatest superpowers: a reusable water bottle.
Okay, it might not be as flashy as Spider-Man's webs, Captain America's super strength, or Thor's mighty hammer, but your reusable water bottle can still make a heroic impact. Taking the time to fill it with tap water helps protect the planet and support our community.
According to The Roundup, more than 50 billion plastic bottles are sold in the United States each year. If those bottles were placed end to end, they would wrap around the Earth 190 times. That's an incredible amount of plastic being added to our landfills. By swapping out even a few single-use plastic bottles, we can use our own superpower of helping reduce the millions of tons of plastic waste polluting our oceans.
While protecting the planet is a powerful reason to pack your reusable bottle, you can also use it to show off your own superhero style. Add stickers, choose a fun color, or decorate it with designs that represent your personality. Plus, sipping water throughout the day can help you reach your hydration goals. Staying hydrated supports brain health, healthy digestion, and physical endurance, giving you the energy you need to tackle your daily missions.
The United States is one of the countries that generates the highest amount of plastic waste each year. As we head into a new school year, let's all channel our inner heroes and use our superpower, one reusable water bottle at a time. Cutting out the villainous ways of polluting our planet with plastic waste.
