LANE TAKES BACK THE TAP
February 19, 2013
Of over 50 billion disposable water bottles produced in the U.S. annually, only 17% are recycled.  The rest end up in our ever growing landfills and polluting our land, air, and waters.  Bottled water use contributes to the estimated three million tons of plastic debris floating on the sea surface in the North Pacific Ocean and is responsible for over 2.5 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.  To find a map of locations where you can fill up your own water bottle at Lane and for more information on "Taking Back the Tap," click here.
