13. Making bottled water is also a resource-heavy process. A study in the journal Environmental Research Letters found that roughly 32-54 million barrels of oil went into producing the amount of bottled water consumed in the US in 2007.

生产瓶装水也是一个资源消耗大的产业。《环境研究快报》里的一项研究发现2007年生产美国所消耗的瓶装水用掉了约3200万—5400万桶油。

14. It also takes more water to make a bottle of water than it does to fill it. A recent study from the International Bottled Water Association found that North American companies use 1.39 litres of water to make one litres of the bottled stuff.

生产瓶装水所用的水远不止灌进瓶里的水，国际瓶装水协会最近的研究发现北美的公司生产1公升的瓶装水要用掉1.39公升的水。

15. But hey, you might be thinking: At least they get recycled, right? For every six water bottles Americans use, only one makes it to the recycle bin, according to National Geographic.

但是你可能在想：至少瓶子还能回收，对吧？《国家地理》杂志显示美国人用的每6个水瓶中只有一个进了回收站。

So think twice the next time you consider buying a case of bottled water.

所以下次你再想买瓶装水的时候仔细斟酌一下吧。
