The only way out of the deadly and lasting danger of plastic is to cut down its use, if not avoid it altogether. Plastic is detrimental to our environment.

Plastic is only favorable for those who make profit out of it but little did they know the more plastic they produce the more harm is done for people and environment.

It sounds to me like they are saying they weighed a bunch of different plastic bottles and their bottle weighs 30% or so less. Which of course, means very little without more information to go on. What I really like is the statement that their label is now 1/3rd smaller. I realize that with the vast quantities of labels that are printed for these bottles a savings of 1/3rd could add up to millions annually, but it seems that most of that savings would be for the company rather than either the consumer or the ecology.
