Am Shalom is "Water Bottle-free"
 The Evidence is overwhelming. Disposable plastic water bottles are hazardous to our health, and to the health of the planet. The water itself most often comes from a public source, usurped from public domain and resulting in extreme degradation of the ecosystem. The plastic bottle is comprised of toxins known to leach, while their manufacture correlates highly with high disease rates in the manufacturing environs.
