Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

We have all heard this before. Reduce, reuse and recycle. We have all heard about recycling and how important it is. But it is important that we also REDUCE what we use. That is probably more important than the recycling.

There are many ways to reduce our usage of the earth's recourse's, but one of the most important things we can reduce is the bottled water. There are thousands of bottles of water floating around at any given time around here. That is a lot of bottles to recycle.

A lot of people don't feel great about using tap water even though it has been proven in most areas to be safe. If you are one of those people who do not want to use tap water there are some great alternatives out there.

The first thing you will need is a effective water pitcher that will clean your tap water or a water tap filter.
Here are my favorites:

I use the Best Water Pitcher. It's important to know that I use the water from the pitcher for everything! Cooking, watering my plants with it really make them thrive. I also use it for my pets to keep them healthier. I know everyone says all water tastes the same and I always believed that. But everyone told me the water out of the Best Water Pitcher tasted different. I didn't believe it until I bought the pitcher. I noticed a difference and didn't say anything and then my 12 year old daughter came to me and told me that it tasted so much different. So I believe it now, there is a difference in your water.

The next step to get that convince that you can get with those water bottles is to buy reusable preferably BFA free water bottles. Then you just need to refill that same bottle and you get the same convince as those water bottles!

Here are some examples I have put together for you. All three of these are BPA free bottles.

HSN 2 Pack of Bottles Click Here - If you are a Mom like me you may want the convince of having multiple bottles ready to go I saw this set on the Home Shopping Network website and it's a really good deal for the money. It's basically for the price buy one get one free.

Nalgene Click Here This company has a pretty good variety of bottles at a pretty decent price. They range from $9-$12 per bottle and have a variety of different styles.
Sigg Click Here This company is more on the high end. The bottles start around $20 but they do have a huge assortment of aluminum bottles. Over 100 designs actually to choose from.

So there are some choices for you to start to reduce no matter what you budget is. And in the start our economy is in this may be a little more money upfront, but will actually save you money in the long run instead of spending all that money on bottled water.
Another important thing to remember is whether you have a water pitcher or a faucet filter be sure you change your filter about every 60 days to ensure the best performance.

Until next time:)
