Filling up landfills with billions of plastic water bottles

Recycling rates for plastic water bottles are very low.

Only 12 percent of the billions of plastic water bottles that are sold every year are recycled. The rest went into landfills.

A chilling statistic, yes, but it's really hard to envision the environmental impact of all that waste until you see it for yourself.
