Celebrating Earth Day Facts & Friendly Products

By Ambassador, Joanna Brashear

Every year, we at SheShreds.co like to do something special to celebrate Earth Day.  Our Earth is amazing and provides us mountains with snow to shred and allows us to build winding valley roads for our enjoyment of skateboarding or biking. It is our duty as shred sisters to unite and help our Earth flourish in this time of polluted rivers, melting glaciers and smog filled skies.

There is one small thing you can do this Earth Day that makes a huge impact! Buy or continue using your reusable water bottle and spread the news. If you have not heard the alarming statistics take a look below. 

These facts were taken from carryyourcup.org and there are many, many, more disturbing facts on that website.

• Americans throw away 25 billion Styrofoam coffee cups every year, and 5 million plastic beverage bottles every hour.

• In 2006, only 24.7 percent of plastic beverage bottles were recycled representing only 1.11 million tons recycled of the 4.47 million tons of bottles sold.

This is crazy! We, as a society, have become lazy with convenience items, especially the throw away cup. We all have done it, some of us have maybe even used them all of our lives, but now is the time to stop and challenge your friends to stop as well.

Below I have pulled a couple of reusable water bottles that I use while snowboarding, wakeboarding, camping, and even just while running errands on a busy day. You will stop wasting money on plastic water bottles and also stop polluting our Earth, who is so desperately in need of  our help! For those of you who love coffee and hot tea, I have also included an option for warm drinks as well, so there are no excuses!

Do you part this Earth Day and share the word about reusable water bottles. Shred on sisters!
