Every year, Americans consume about 50 billion bottles of water and only recycle 23% of that 50 million. The chemicals from the plastics we use end up polluting the environment and our bodies. When the plastic bottles break down, all the chemicals leach out into the environment and into our food.
These facts don’t stop people from using water bottles, but maybe this science experiment done by Holly and her son Carson will.
Out of curiosity, Holly and Carson decided to test the pH of 7 different bottles of water and well water run through a Brita filter. She used pH strips one can easily find at any grocery store.
