A Texas State organization is promoting what it calls Banning the Bottle. The idea behind the campaign is to reduce water bottle usage. Angelica Buitron has more in this Bobcat Update.

Water bottles made of plastic are not biodegradable, and, if they're discarded improperly, they cause pollution. Plastic essentially lasts forever.

Recycling is helpful, but a group called HEAT is urging people not to use plastic water bottles at all. Its members say plastic bottles cause more harm than good. Plastics CAN be recycled, but valuable resources -- especially water -- are required to make it so. According to HEAT, more water is used in recycling a plastic bottle than the amount of liquid the bottle can hold

Banning the Bottle means making a pledge to transition to some form of recyclable bottle. The HEAT organization also encourages people to drink more tap water because, in most cases, it is as healthy for you as bottled water. Reporting for Bobcat Update, I'm Angelica Buitron.
