One Earth One Bottle Pledge

“There is no reason to believe that bottled water is safer than tap water.”
 

- Dr. Gina Solomon, senior scientist
Natural Resources Defense Counsel
(as told to The New York Times)

I pledge to opt for tap water over bottled water, because:

  • As one of the necessities to life, water should be free and not commoditized for individual profit.
  • By reducing my consumption of plastic water bottle containers, I am actively supporting a more environmentally sustainable lifestyle.
  • Up to 40 percent of bottled water in the U.S. and Canada is sourced from municipal tap water.
  • Worldwide there is a need for investments in public water systems to ensure equal access to water, a key ingredient for prosperity and health for all people.

I pledge to:

  • Choose tap water over bottled water whenever possible.
