The cost of water!

Do find yourself buying bottled water from the store? Have you noticed the amount of plastic that goes to recycling from them? Have you wondered how to reduce that amount while still drinking better, safer water? I have and found a way to greatly reduce it.

As well as all the added plastic buying bottled water adds, it also cost alot. There is also alot of valid information on the effects of plastic bottles to the water. So if you must buy water and can't put a filter in your house, try buying a pitcher filter! Here is the one we use, we got it on sale for half price, the refill filter cartrige cost me less than $8 and last 2 months.

If you need to have water to travel, buy a stainless steel travel mug. If your looking for more info on the downside of plastic bottles, you can find more info in this very interesting article:
