We all need water on a regular basis. The more you drink, the better for your health. So while it may be easy to buy bottled water, the ecological impact of plastic bottles is an ugly trade off for convenience. Not only are plastic bottles forming an island of waste in the Pacific ocean, but the carbon footprint that they create simply from transporting the product to your local market is wasteful and unnecessary.
All of us that live in the United States have the luxury of clean water flowing right into our own homes through the faucet! While many people dislike the taste of tap, and question its purity, I suggest you reconsider. Water Departments across the country have strict standards on public water, and test it frequently for contaminants such as e. coli, pathogens, Giardia and chemicals. The regulations on public water are higher than most bottled water standards, making tap the healthier choice! Plus, by drinking tap you avoid nasty problem of plastic leaching into your water.
So, use your faucet! And if you need a re-usable eco-friendly to-go container, check out our line in BODY’s eco-boutique. Our re-usable mugs and water bottles are made from bio-degradable materials and will not leach into your water.
