Plastic is a global problem spread out yet not too far from where we are (appropriate to say in our faces) but somewhere nearer by, has made all the difference. One of our most significant environmental challenges — oceans filled with garbage, microplastics in our food and water — is due to just how much single-use plastic bottles are being used each day. Yet, the remedy is easy — use the replaceable environmentally friendly bottles that are green and healthy not only for you but also for this world.

My Bougie Bottle shows us sustainability can be done in style. No -- their bottles are not only practical but they are also made to help contribute in changing the habit of wastefulness, and to even make a stylish statement wherever you bring them. So what makes a reusable water bottle so special? Here is to exploring how little things contribute to great environmental victories.

The Problem with Single-Use Plastic Bottles

However, before we move on to that subject, let's go back a little and explain why this thought requires some care. Every year, 20 billion to 30 billion pounds of plastic is thrown into the world's oceans; it damages wildlife and has made its way up the food chain through seafood, taking microplastics and their chemical hazards into our bodies. Plastic water bottles are a major source of plastic ocean pollution around the world although not all of that is Ocean Plastic. Whilst 1.20 million plastic bottles are sold every minute globally, only 23% get recycled. Despite the increasing acknowledgement of this only a minority (less that 30%) of these bottles are recycled. The rest?

• End up in landfills, where they take hundreds of years to break down

• Produce water pollution by contaminating rivers, lakes and oceans that endangers marine life

• Break down into microplastics that end up in food chains and even your drinking water

Plastic bottles are made with petroleum-based substances and this can pose an environmental threat if the soil, air and water become polluted from using up natural resources; Climate change. As such, there are no eco friendly plastic bottles since it is made from plastic. They are not our idea of an eco-friendly water bottle.

The solution? Decrease our need for disposable bottles (hello eco friendly alternatives).
