As we look outside and notice the beginning signs of summer soon approaching, we can release a sigh of relief as we pack away the heavy blankets and winter coats, replacing them with air conditioners, t-shirts and filp-flops, long summer nights and daytime activity. As beautiful and alluring as the summer season may be, it also brings with it hot weather, humidity, and THIRST! Water is the largest component of the human body, making up about 60% water in adult males and 55% in adult females. As we bask in the sunlight and enjoy the summer weather, we also sweat, losing a certain percentage of our body water. It is crucial to replace this water and stay hydrated. In order to stay hydrated, many people spend hundreds of dollars a year on bottled water, leading to a significant hole in the pocket, and hundreds of plastic bottles in landfills. Putting costs aside, it is important to know that bottled water, although purified for human consumption, may reduce the concentration of particulate matter but not to a considerable extent. The inexpensive and safe solution to the drinking water dilemma is making a small investment into a water filtration bottle. Investing in a water filtration bottle would not only give one assurance that the water being consumed has been tested by independent laboratories using EPA and NSF protocols, but would also save an individual over $700 a year! And in this tough economy, who wouldn’t want to save a buck (or many bucks in this case!) while doing what’s right for one’s body and the environment? Water filtration bottles filter out 99.9% of pollutants and produce up to 100 gallons of filtered water equating to about 700 refills. The unappealing alternative is purchasing bottled water. Carrying around a bottle of water has become as common as having a cell phone in hand. Sadly, however, millions of unrecycled water bottles end up in our country’s landfills contributing to a widespread environmental problem. Trading bottled water for a reusable water filtration bottle will ensure that there is always fresh water on hand and that the Earth is always smiling. Get your compact, lightweight water filtration bottle today and be well on your way to healthier living and a healthier world.
