The average American discards 17.7 pounds of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET, also known as PETE) plastic bottles each year. By eliminating your share of PET bottles, you can prevent 108.9 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, reduce ocean plastic pollution that kills 1 million seabirds and 100,000 ocean mammals a year, and reduce your oil use by 4.9 gallons. Let’s get the plastic out!
