It's not just the bottles that are produced, it's so much more!
Here are some more statistics of how producing the 30+ billion water bottles bought in 2006 can waste more than just plastic:
Requires the equivalent of more than 17 million barrels of oil – enough to fuel more than one million vehicles for a year. (Note: This was erroneously reported by the New York Times as 1.5 million, and the error is repeated in many places.)
Produces more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide.
Uses three times the amount of water in the bottle
