One of my Christmas gifts this year was a Brita water filter for our tap in the kitchen. We have been refilling our Dasani water bottles with the filtered water, but I'm going to buy reusable bottles so we will finally be free of all bottled water!! Yay!!Just in case you're interested, here are a few of the reasons they give at The Good Human.
Click here for the full list!
- American tap water is among the safest in the world.
- As much as 40% of the bottled water sold in the U.S. is just filtered tap water anyway. Be sure to check the label and look for “from a municipal source” or “community water system”, which just means it is tap water.
- By drinking tap water, you can avoid the fertilizer, pharmaceuticals, disinfectants, and other chemicals that studies have found in bottled water.
- The EPA sets much more stringent quality standards for tap water than the FDA does for the bottled stuff.
- One out of 6 people in the world does not have safe drinking water, and about 3,000 children a day die from diseases caught from bad water…that we know of. This while Americans spend about $16 billion a year on bottled water.
