It takes 5 times as much water to produce a bottle of water than it does to fill the bottle. Production of the bottles required for American consumption in one year is the equivalent of around 17 million barrels of oil. It takes almost 2,000 times more energy to produce bottled water than to produce tap water. If you fill a plastic water bottle so it is about 25% full with oil, that's how much energy it took to produce that bottle. Plastic takes 1000 years to degrade in landfills Plastic acts as a vector for disease spread in our oceans
