Yes, it's cancerous plastic filled with tap water . . .

Yes, tons of water bottles are used and few are recycled . . .

. . . but . . . shoot, I appear to have ran out of pros.
Yes, with the exception of Biota, most water bottles are non-biodegradable . . .
Image: The image below is a graveyard of the used water bottles, their purpose has been filled and now they go either to the landfill or the recycling plant.
