Lenten Discipline: Plastic bottles

If you’re reading this, chances are pretty good that you’ve consumed water from a single-use plastic bottle in the past week, maybe even today. Globally, a million plastic bottles are now purchased every minute. Estimates vary, but certainly fewer than 30% of single-use bottles are recycled. The rest end up in overflowing landfills or contaminate our planet’s waterways and oceans, putting wildlife at risk. The plastic bottle that you use for a few minutes will last centuries in the environment. Please consider investing in a reusable water bottle and refilling it with tap water.
