Say No to Tap

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Most people know that tap water isn’t good for us.  Some still drink it.  Did you know that there are so many harmful things in tap water? For example chlorine, parasites, and lead are some of the things.  These contaminants can cause health problems from cancer to bladder infections, and even stomach virus. 

Yes, there is an alternative to drinking contaminated tap water!  Some people turn to bottled water, but isn’t the greatest alternative for our health or the environment. Besides spending a lot of money bottled water. In some cases bottled water is just tap water in a bottle. Also the bottles from bottled water are harmful to our atmosphere. Making the bottles pollutes the air with harmful chemicals and when discarding them in the trash these bottles are not biodegradable.

What other alternative is there?  Well you can always use a water filter bottle. It has a built in water filter right in the bottle!  You just fill up with tap water and while drinking it filters the contaminants out of the water. It is easy to carry around and you can reuse it over and over. These bottle filters can filter out lead, mercury, other heavy metals, chlorine, taste and odor problems, and even bacteria and harmful organisms!
