1: Purchase nontoxic, reusable water bottles for you
and your family. Stainless steel is a good alternative. Manufacturers include but not limited to New
Wave, Kleen Kanteen, http://www.newwaveenviro.com/bottles-stainless-steel-c-8_2_11.html
http://www.kleankanteen.com/. There are also nontoxic water bottles for
kids: http://www.progressivekid.com/shop/Eco-FriendlyWaterBottles.aspx
2: If you’re not satisfied with your tap water quality,
filter it! Brita, PUR, Aqua-Pur are a
few brands out there. You can choose
from different types of filtering systems from faucet to whole house. Here is a link that compares these different
systems. http://www.waterfiltercomparisons.net/WaterFilter_Comparison.cfm
3: Encourage your friends to follow your example. The more
people that switch to a more sustainable method of carrying water, the less CO2
we’ll emit into our atmosphere.
4: Get serious about your conservation efforts. Join an online environmental group like New
American Dream. This organization is
practical, NOT in your face, does not sell your email address, and gives
completely sane and simple tips that everyday people like you and me can make a
difference. Take their pledge to break
the water bottle habit. http://c3.newdream.org/
