You probably carry your water bottle around the house, to work, to the gym, in the car and wherever else your daily routine might take you. In short, your water bottle sees a lot and all that exposure means it likely isn’t as clean as you think it is.
Based on data from 2016, water bottles can hold as many germs as a public toilet seat. Additionally, water bottles that aren’t properly washed can contaminate water beyond safe drinking levels.
Of course, most people regularly wash their reusable water bottles to prevent the level of germs from ever getting that extreme. But for those on-the-go or more forgetful about washing habits, germ contamination is a major concern.
Community Art Walk Launches in Chapel Hill; Some Paintings Reported Missing
Downtown Chapel Hill became a little more colorful this weekend than it was before, as a pop-up art walk appeared along Franklin Street.
The Science and Hope Art Walk, which began its display on Thursday, features more than 80 pieces of original art celebrating achievements made by local, state and national leaders over the last year. Much of the artwork thanks scientists, healthcare workers, teachers, local business owners and others who play a role in helping the community and country through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Displayed from Henderson Street, down Franklin Street and down South Graham Street, the art pieces are propped up along areas of the Town of Chapel Hill’s extended sidewalk. Completed by artists of all ages, the project is a follow-up to October’s Meet the Moment pop-up art walk, which had an activism and social justice theme.
