Letter from 5th grade about bringing your own water bottles

Bring Your Own From Home

By Olivia Andersen, Macey Ferron-Jones, and Nathaniel Veimau

This Spring Fest, the 5th grade would like to encourage you and your child(ren) to bring reusable water bottles from home instead of buying one-use water bottles from food stands. You can refill at a “hydration station” for free. We’ll also sell some Klean Kanteen stainless steel water bottles with a Catlin Gabel logo.

We would like to share some of our research on plastic water bottles.

Did you know...

• 1,500 one-use water bottles are consumed every second in the U.S.?
• 500,000,000 water bottles are consumed every week in this country alone?
• 80% of all one-use water bottles end up in landfills even though recycling programs exist?
• Tap water is generally healthier than bottled water?
• Bottled water costs 1,000 times more than tap water.
• Drinking two liters of tap water per day only costs 50 cents per year?
• In Oregon, we have some of the cleanest tap water in the country?
• It takes 700 years for a plastic water bottle to (mostly) decompose. They never actually completely decompose; they just break down into smaller and smaller pieces.

Think about bringing your own from home for Spring Fest this year.
