Diverting waste is SO important. It extends the life of your local landfill as well as offers resource reduction because we are recycling our waste instead of constantly just producing and purchasing new material. It takes 22 gallons of water to make one pound of plastic. It takes 650 gallons of water to make one cotton shirt. So by reducing our waste and using reusable water bottles instead of buying plastic ones, we are actually reducing our water footprint and helping preserve resources.
