reducing the number of water bottles by drinking less water

Answer 1

The action that will help the most with the problem of plastic water bottle waste is drinking filtered tap water instead of bottled water. This choice eliminates the need for single-use plastic bottles altogether, thereby reducing overall plastic waste and conserving the energy used in production and transportation. While recycling and reusing bottles are positive actions, they do not address the root issue of plastic production and waste as effectively as simply avoiding bottled water.
