Bottled Water - Not Living Green

More and more, Americans are drinking water from disposable plastic bottles. Who could blame them? With news feeds about our obese society and how we fair against our more slender European counterparts, it's no wonder the "healthy" biz has been on the rise for a couple of years now.

Unfortunately, American's aren't being very smart about it. Google how many water bottles are tossed to rubbish piles across our great nation and you'll be surprised to read that as many 40 million bottles own real estate there. With a little investment of time and some money, there is a cheap way to help you live green and become more eco-friendly year round.

BRITA Water filtration system comes with an array of water pitchers, filters and faucet filtration systems that not only allows you to filter your home's tap water, but also help you reduce waste by eliminating the purchase of water bottles. No more lugging cases and cases of water from your grocery store back to the house. These lightweight, simple and easy to use filters provide the same quality water you will find in your local grocery store. Best of all, the filters are also recyclable.

You initially spend $30.00 to purchase one of their pitchers on the right, but you reuse that pitcher on a daily basis. You purchase the filter as well, and you've completed the process of eliminating plastic bottle waste. BRITA's system is eqiupped with a sensor to remind you when it's time to replace the filters. Would you rather recycle one filter, or cases of empty plastic bottles on a monthly basis?

Like I said, make a small investment initially to help your household become more eco-friendly and start living green.
