After A Near Disaster, Power Company Tech Warns To Never Leave Plastic Water Bottles In A Hot Car

It's important to recycle plastic water bottles to help save the environment, but it's also a really good idea to get them out of your vehicle. It's not just because it's unsightly to have them lying around haphazardly, but it could be a threat to your life.

One Idaho man learned the hard way that discarded empty plastic water bottles not only clutter up a vehicle, but they can cause serious damage during sunny warm weather.

Idaho Power shared such a story on Facebook from one of its employee's scary experience. In fact, so many people were unaware of this hazard that the video has been viewed thousands of times and shared hundreds of times, too.
