Two big reasons to switch to glass swing top bottles are the environmental & health impacts of disposable plastic bottles.
Bisphenol A or BPA is a chemical that has been linked to many health problems including:
- Learning and behavioral problems
- Altered immune system function
- Early puberty in girls and fertility problems
- Decreased sperm count
- Prostate and breast cancer
- Diabetes and obesity
If you are pregnant or nursing, your child is also at risk. If you are feeding your baby or toddler from a plastic bottle, switch to glass to avoid BPA contamination.
Manufacturing bottles to meet Americans demand for bottled water requires more than 17 million barrels of oil annually, enough to fuel over 1 million U.S. cars for an entire year.
86% of plastic water bottles used in the United States become garbage or litter. Incinerating bottles produces toxic byproducts including chlorine gas and water bottles can take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's standards for tap water are more strict than the Food and Drug Administration's standards for bottled water, meaning tap water in many cases is actually safer than that of bottled water.
