It was the year 1978 in New York City when I first draft of my new Euro-chic fad Perrier mineral water had a green glass. It was the healthy beverage of choice for urban residents in almost every café that the bottled water trend, which started later in a multi-billion dollar industry seen.
As we go from decades to drink tap water from our municipal drinking water systems, are of a metal water bottle? "Our culture has beenLocated manipulated by questionable studies that people were sick from tap water. The fact is that municipal water falls under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection Agency, and is regularly tested for bacteria and toxic chemicals. With that said, you can explicitly put your trust in a government run agency that runs the water that goes running out your tap?
It has been led a long road to other companies now selling water in plastic bottles. In the 1980s, it beganby targeting the health-conscious fashion, developing the new fitness craze in bottled water, mountain spring, then took an entry into the mainstream America. At this time, he knew not occur for the consumer that the plastic bottle was potentially toxic. In addition, we trust that matched the water source of the images on the label of the pure water of the lake, evergreen trees and refreshing streams. That confidence quickly faded when reports surfaced that spring water was, in fact, municipal tap waterReverse-osmosis filters Corporate bottling factories. Bottled water companies are under the regulatory authority of the FDA. The reality is not allowed to cross about 70% of bottled water, the state border for sale, so that it is free from FDA oversight.
Fast forward to today, the environmentalists are worried not only about the energy wasted in shipping bottled water, but the waste left by the empty bottles. Americans buy more than $ 22 billion bottles per year and only 17% recycled paper obtained. This is aa lot of plastic in landfills. In addition, the rising cost of healthcare is concerned, the plastic used is recycled material, that is not edible and contains the chemical bisphenol A, better known as BPA known to leach into the water. Be made Generally, the bottles for use only when the bottle and reused or heated, continuous consumption of this toxic chemical can cancer, particularly a contribution in the endocrine system and lead to other diseases. I know first hand because it happenedto me.
Although this gloomy snapshot seems there is a way to pure water to drink, and be kind to our environment. After careful research, and a few lifestyle adjustments, I made it a priority to drink healthy water, whether at home or away. There are many sports water bottles on the market, aluminum bottles requires a chemical resin in the lining to prevent corrosion, and all the plastic water bottle, that recycling is # 7 on the ground, the chemical BPA. Restrict my search, so that aMetal water bottle, stainless steel, safe and can be reused indefinable. As for the water, I went from an expensive carbon-filtered water jug of a reverse-osmosis filtered water system for drinking and cooking, which pays for itself in a short time.
These simple alternatives are not only healthier for you and your family, reduces your carbon footprint, and we do not forget the cost savings, if you stop to buy bottled water. If you found with your metal waterBottle, send a message that you are now part of the growing trend that you care about your environment.
Take a pledge and simply say "No" to bottled water.
