America Recycles Day is a nationally recognized day on November 15, dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States. Recycling means reducing our carbon footprint and one way to do that is through the use of reusable water bottles #RefillOverLandfill. When you are committed to #MakeTheSwitch to a reusable water bottle, you reduce waste and become a solution to pollution.  

Carrying a reusable water bottle is one small but powerful act that signifies mindfulness surrounding our impact on the environment. It serves as a constant reminder of our commitment to reducing waste, and it can inspire others to follow. 

In the right hands, a reusable water bottle can become a beacon for change. That’s why our water bottles have a voice! 

When you #MakeTheSwitch and someone asks you about your cool-looking bottle, it’s a chance to spread your message and talk about why you are ditching single-use plastics. Protecting our natural environment is the way to preserve our beautiful landscapes for future generations. 

So, spread the word – celebrate your choice to reduce waste by carrying your gear everywhere you go. How can you be a part of the movement?
