America Recycles Day is celebrated each year on November 15th. This year, we are asking you to participate in our pledge to refuse water bottles!

Water bottles contain huge amounts of microplastics and are not regulated by the FDA. They are among the most littered item in the ocean.

Take our pledge to refuse bottled water by emailing your name and the city you live in to [email protected]. If you’re pledging for your business, please include the name of your business, city, and your name. This information will be displayed on our website.

Thank you for taking part in our pledge and ditching water bottles to choose tap water! 😆♻️🌎
