Seventeen million barrels of gas are consumed in the production of plastic bottles in a year. This is equivalent to fueling one million cars for an entire year. All this fuel is just for plastic production! Including water transportation and refrigeration, fifty million barrels of gas are used. If you filled the water bottle a quarter full of gas, that would equal the amount used in its creation. As all this gas is consumed, Earth's air becomes increasingly polluted. Smog is accumulating. Over two million people die every year due to poor air quality. Especially in areas with high concentrations of people, dirty air is becoming denser and less habitable, which is partly due to the amount of gas used to create plastic water.
