This photo depicts two million plastic beverage bottles, the number used in the US every five minutes.

and a little closer.  Funny how our actions multiply.   Durango population is 17,000, and if everyone drank one bottle a day, we’d reach that 2 million photo in 4 months.  Geez that’s a lotta bottles.

    What about a serious bottle law that puts a deposit on all (yes, all) bottles - soda, water, juice, etc. etc. It’s not easy getting govt to enact such a law, but it can make a huge difference in not filling the landfills with all that litter.

    Just a thought.
