The answer is both yes and no. It really
depends on the type of plastic it is made up
of.

Turn the bottle or the container upside down.
You may have to strain your eyes, use
magnifying glass or our favourite age old
technique of using paper and pencil.
You will find a number on all plastic items
and if you don’t – DON’T EVEN BOTHER TO
USE IT.

In the U.S., 1,500 plastic water bottles are
consumedevery second. Here’s why that’s a
major problem for humans, the environment, and
the animals on our planet.
Plastic bottles contain Bisphenol A (BPA), the
chemical used to make the plastic hard and clear.
BPA is an endocrine disruptor which has
been proven to be hazardous to human health. It
has been strongly linked to a host of health
problems including certain types of cancer,
neurological difficulties, early puberty in girls,
reduced fertility in women, premature labour,
and defects in newborn babies – to name a few
examples.

In addition to the negative impacts of BPA and phthalates on
human health there are also growing concerns
regarding carcinogens and microbial contaminants that have
been found in test samples of bottled water.
Plastic bottle tops are currently not recyclable, and as with
plastic bags they often end up at the bottom of the ocean,
and in the stomachs of a variety of animal species that
mistake them for food. One albatross that was recently found
dead on a Hawaiian island had a stomach full of 119 bottle
caps.

t’s harder to recycle plastic bottles than you think. Of
the mass numbers of plastic bottles consumed
throughout the world, most of them are not
recycled because only certain types of plastic bottles
can be recycled by certain municipalities. They either
end up lying stagnant in landfills, leaching dangerous
chemicals into the ground, or they infiltrate our
streets as litter. They are found on sidewalks, in
parks, front yards and rivers, and even if you chop
them into tiny pieces they still take more than a
human lifetime to decompose.
It gets worse. In the case of bottled water, the
plastic-making process requires over two gallons of
water for the purification process of every gallon of
water.

Reduce- Avoid buying bottled water.
We can carry our own bottles. Its easy.
Ask your parents and grandparents. They
used to carry the water from home in the
containers of metal.
Now shatter proof glass bottles are available
too.
We can use plastic(lets give it the credit it
deserves)it is convenient but carry our own
bottles with magic numbers of 1,2,4,6 only.
