Earth Day

Water BottlesWhat’s the deal?

• Over 80% of bottles are thrown away (but plastic bottles leak chemicals, endangering your health!)

• They take 1,000 years to biodegrade

• In the US alone the production:

• Requires 17+ million barrels of oil (plus transport)

• Produces 2.5+ million tons of carbon dioxide

• Requires 3L of water to produce 1L bottled water

• Minimize production &

transport cost• No extra water

usage• Save money• Less trash

Original price = $25

Our price $15 pesos (subsidized by NHS)

Carpool Day: FRIDAY

We’re not asking you to do this…just get a ride with 2 or more friends!

Why should you carpool?(or use mass transit, of course!)

• By 2030 the number of cars in the world will increase by 50%

• According to Chevron, the world uses 2 barrels of oil for every 1 discovered

• It took 125 years for the world to consume 1 trillion barrels of oil, the world will consume the next trillion in only 30

• Each gallon of gasoline burned creates 19 pounds of CO2

+ its cheaper & probably more enjoyable for YOU!

HAPPY EARTH DAY!
