WaterLily is made from almost 1,000 single use plastic bottles, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the 37 billion disposable plastic water bottles Americans use every year.
All that consumption of bottled water is pretty astonishing given that in most parts of the country, tap water is not only perfectly safe, but is also more tightly regulated that its bottled counterpart.
Only 23 % of the plastic bottles get recycled, the others end up in the landfill where it takes some 700 years before they even begin to decompose.
So let’s all just say TAP! and all you have to do is turn it on.
