TL;DR Summary

A TikToker named Kati (@spreadyourdreams) has raised awareness about the issue of "trapped water" in plastic bottles, urging people to dump out any unused liquids. The Texas Water Quality Association states that 22 million gallons of water are wasted annually in landfills due to trapped water in plastic bottles, which cannot be returned to the Earth's water cycle. This decreases the overall water supply for all life. Additionally, the purchase of plastic water bottles contributes to the global plastic waste problem, with one million bottles being bought every minute. Plastic does not biodegrade and breaks down into microplastics, posing a long-term threat to water sources and ecosystems. Kati's TikTok video has gained significant attention, prompting viewers to reconsider their practices and take action to reduce water waste.
