Answer 5

Plastic bottles are made from Foreign Oil, so recycling them reduces our need to use more Foreign Oil.

Glass bottles require a good amount of energy when they are formed from silica etc, but the energy to melt down a bottle and create a new one is much less.  Therefore creating bottles from old ones uses much less energy -- Foreign Oil, or coal or gas, etc. We should recycle as many bottles as possible for 2 reasons:  to reduce our overall energy consumption and to prevent more stuff going into landfills.

Answer 6

Just like the commercial w/ the woman on the tread mill.  "30 minutes on a tread mill" (w/ the plastic water bottle by her side) - "forever in a landfill".  That's the message their sending you if you don't recycle and throw it away.  Your best bet is to buy a water bottle that is re-usable 1,000 times over and just refill it when you need it.  GO GREEN and SAVE THE PLANET!
