Plastic water bottles always end up recycled, right? Not quite. Did you know that out of the 60 million plastic water bottles used every day in the US, only 23% of those actually get recycled? The rest are sent to landfills or swept up into our rivers, streams, and oceans. That’s why Students for Sustainability and Green Ambassadors at St. Edward’s University came together to launch Tap the Hilltop as a part of Food & Water Watch’s national campaign to promote positive initiatives about water awareness and plastic water bottle consumption.
To officially launch the campaign, we’ve created a video to explain what we’ve accomplished and what we plan to do in the future. Check it out and join us on our campaign to make St. Edward’s a bottled water-free campus!
