We know Halloween is over, but we have a terrifying fact for you…
Did you know that each day over 60 MILLION plastic water bottles are thrown away across the United States?
World wide, that number is over 1 billion! 😱
Here are a few other not-so-fun facts about the plastic water bottle industry.
Bottled Water Info & Facts
Bottled Water Info & Facts
- The average American goes through 167 bottles of water per year!
- It takes about 3 times as much water to make a plastic bottle than it does to fill it. We call that wasteful.
- Plastic water bottles can take HUNDREDS of years to decompose. That means the water bottles we use will outlive us!
- Less than a quarter of plastic water bottles are actually recycled.
- It is estimated by 2050 that there will be more PLASTIC waste in the ocean than FISH! 🐠
- Since COVID there has been an even bigger shift to bottled water intake because it is considered “safer” and people also increased their backup supply. Even though bottled water companies are not required to do as thorough testing and filtration compared city water systems.
Reusable Water Bottles
If we asked you how many reusable water bottles you have in your home, we could guess you have at least 2 or more. For those who are active, or have a water bottle obsession, that number can go up to 15 or more!
Stanley, YETI, Hydro Flask and Owala are just a few of the top reusable water bottle brands.
So, if you have one or more of these bottles…why are you still buying single use, disposable ones? We understand the need for convenience, please don’t tell us that you are filling your reusable bottles with bottled water.
Check out our latest blog where we discussed the pros and cons of water delivery vs. in-home filtration systems.
If you’re going to invest in a high quality reusable bottle, you should also consider investing in a high quality water system that filters the best water right into your home. That way you have bottled water quality, right there on tap.
If the facts above don’t cause you to think twice before buying a case of water and the fact that you love buying reusable water bottles, let us help further inform you about how whole home water filtration systems can change your home and your life by providing the highest quality, and purest drinking water available.
Perks Of Whole Home Water Filtration Systems
Not only do whole home systems provide fresh, filtered water, it also softens the water eliminating the hard Texas water we’ve all come to know and dislike.
Even though this blog is mainly focused on drinking water and why it’s important to say NO to disposable, single use plastic, we want to make it known that whole home systems do more than give you great drinking water.
Whole home water systems filter and eliminate contaminants, hard water particles, chemicals, PFAs, and more which provides you and your home with the SAFEST water available on the market. We discuss a lot of water basics that involve these topics in previous blogs, if you want to learn more!
You’ll notice that your clothes aren’t as dull, your hair and skin are shiny and soft and your faucets and appliances don’t have that hard water and calcium buildup that makes everything look cloudy and chalky.
Add that to having the purest, best tasting water AND reducing your plastic waste to further help the environment? 🐢 We call that a huge WIN!
Upgrade To A Whole Home Water System
Ditch the single use bottles and let the purest, cleanest drinking water flow right from your faucet with a whole home water system.
