Why are plastic water bottles bad?

We’re sure you know this (please say you know this) but, the planet is kind of in big trouble right now. Sea levels are rising, polar ice caps are melting, and extreme weather due to climate change is getting out of hand (reference: the devastating bushfires in Australia that killed an estimated 1.25 billion animals, directly or indirectly and burned more than 26 million acres). Global Warming is real and it’s an emergency. We are the first generation to feel it’s impact and the last generation that can do something about it. We can and must do something about it. More than eight million tons of plastic make their way into the ocean every year, impacting marine habitats and the animals that live there. If we use less plastic, less plastic will end up in the sea and landfills. Single-use water bottles are generally, completely unnecessary. Instead, opt for a reusable water bottle that you love and carry around everywhere.

Almost everyone knows that there is a global movement now to reduce the use of plastic water bottles because of their negative impact on the environment, but many people don't really understand why single-use water bottles are harmful. Most of us know it has to do with pollution and the oceans. Unfortunately, plastic water bottles are also bad for our bodies and the planet.
If you haven't had a reusable water bottle yet, or if you have, before you know it, you'll be ditching the plastic in favor of the new glass. Sure, there are situations, such as emergencies or lack of access to clean water, when plastic bottles are absolutely necessary, but for the most part, it's best to avoid single-use plastic of any kind.
