In 2006, Americans used nearly 50 billion plastic water bottles and sent nearly 38 billion to landfills.
Plastic bottles pile up as mountains of waste as Americans' thirst for portable water is behind drop in recycling rate.
Bottled water can cost up to 10,000 times more per gallon than tap water.
Approximately 1.5 million barrels of oil - enough to run 100,000 cars for a whole year - are used to make plastic water bottles. Transporting these bottles burns even more oil.
Did you know that world authorities expect that over 34 million people will be impacted by some kind of natural disaster every year. Almost every day people are impacted by some unexpected disaster, from Tsunami, to earthquakes, to floods typhoons.
Many people do not have a disaster kit or survival kit at hand. A survival kit is essential for every person, family. The survival kit or disaster kit as you may refer to it is extremely important.
There are several key items you require in the survival kit, this includes basic shelter, first aid kit, water filtration/water purifier, tinned/dried food, torch – spare batteries, battery powered radio, regular ongoing medication. There are many web sites to source valuable information from regarding the contents of your emergency kit.
Points to consider around water filters, water purifiers, water purification for emergency water are; does the product have a shelf life, does the product become effected by excessive heat, is the product chemical free and safe for all to use, does the product meet/exceed the US CDC recommendations for filtration to effectively remove giardia and cryptosporidium, does the product have a safety cut off feature when the filter is full..
