You all know by know that we are loving more natural options for our health, but not only that, we are also more conscious of how we treat the earth, too. Drinking water by the gallon full is always the daily goal for me, but we shouldn’t have to trash the planet to do it. Instead of filling up our cart with bottled water, we filter our water at home with a Brita Pitcher with Longlast™ Filter and refill our stainless steel water bottles instead. It’s the best! The Brita pitcher isn’t anything new to me though. I’ve been using a Brita since college! And I still loving using it today just as much.
So what’s the problem with plastic bottled water?
It’s an invisible habit, friends. Did you know that 2,000 plastic water bottles are used every second in the US? Every second. I’ll use my stainless steel water bottles instead.
Plastic water bottles take 450 years to decompose. How sad. I’d rather stop using them all together and drink filtered water.
We spend $13 billion on bottled water each year. I don’t know about you, but I think we could all agree that $13 billion dollars is a lot of money for plastic that’s trashed. What if we all used a filtered water pitcher, like Brita’s?
By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. Say what? Who wants to go the beach with plastic washing up. No, thanks. I’ll keep filling up my filtered water pitcher instead.
What’s the best solution?
Well, that’s an easy one. Start small and ditch the bottled water. Grab a Brita once and you’re good to go for quite some time! Drinking filtered water instead of bottled can help reduce plastic waste. With Brita, you can replace up to 1,800 single-use plastic bottles a year. You alone can replace 1,800 single-use plastic bottles! That’s a huge impact.
