No more plastic water bottles

A Proud Announcement:
en-er-gy fitness studio will no longer offer bottles of water packaged in plastic. Please bring your own water bottles to the studio. If you forget, we have cups and a faucet. We also offer stainless steel BPA Free water bottles for sale!
People love the convenience of bottled water. But we don't think about the problems they cause. Plastic bottles require the use of fossil fuels and they pollute the environment. Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, adding 29 billion water bottles a year to a quickly growing problem. In order to make all these bottles, manufactures use 17 million barrels of crude oil.
Imagine a water bottle filled a quarter of the way up with oil. That’s about how much oil was needed to produce that one bottle.
We all need to make the effort to carry our water in a refillable steel container instead of plastic.
