General Announcements
Did you know it takes a Styrofoam cup 50 years to decompose? It takes an aluminum can 200 years to decompose. And it takes a plastic bottle 450 years to decompose. Rather than buying a bunch of disposable water bottles, buy one and fill it from the tap…and don’t try to pull the “Oh, but bottled water is cleaner! It’s purified! It tastes better!” Public water sources and private water lines are treated to remove any impurities, harmful or not. Not only that, but because we live in Colorado, we have some of the best water available. It comes straight from mountain streams to treatment centers, then to us. So go home and invest in a reusable water bottle…and then reuse it!
