My vote for inspirational company of the day is http://www.mytapwaterbottle.com/ A little about this small business- in their own words "water quality It’s simply impossible to get chemical-free water from a plastic bottle. Even small amounts of bacteria at bottling can multiply to a much larger problem by the time the product gets to you. It’s unrealistic to think that water bottled in plastic containers, produced at a bottling factory, transported and stored at high temperatures for months at a time, can be purer than what a basic home water filtration system can deliver. And at least two out of every five bottles of water sold around the world are simply filtered tap water. Tap water is constantly moving, staying fresh and never stagnating. It is also filtered, disinfected, and is tested many times a day. In contrast, no filtration or disinfection requirements - and virtually no international quality standards - exist for bottled water. A water filtration system and the refillable tap waterTM bottle is a simple, clean solution. Drink Local. Drink Tap Water Since I am now drinking a gallon of water a day as part of a coming back to health regime- and a detox for a seemingly tired immune system. Tap water has my attention. Have we been sold a bill of plastic goods? Time to look into filters and clean up my act! Thanks for inspiring me and here's a look at her products purchase 250ml V1 (9oz): $10 - Qty: [all prices are listed in canadian dollars] They say the best things in life are free. Really? Water is right at the top of that list and these days a bottle of water costs more per litre than gasoline. That’s about as far from free as it gets. Tap water on the other hand is totally free. Just turn on any old tap and you’ll get water that, in most cases, is better regulated and certainly cheaper than water that comes in a plastic bottle. So maybe the best things in life are free. And refillable ;) 500ml V2 (17oz): $12 - Qty: [all prices are listed in canadian dollars] Life is full of choices: big and small. Sometimes a small choice like choosing to buy bottled water over drinking tap water, casts a big shadow. Making this small choice means you’re supporting an industry that ships billions of tiny bottles of water overseas, often taking it from people who lack access to clean drinking water and selling it to people with so much of it they flush it away. Hmmm. Small choice? 1 litre V1 (32oz): $18 - Qty: [all prices are listed in canadian dollars] In the good old days, mineral water and spring water didn’t come in the "convenient" plastic bottles they do today. Bottles which, after a single use, find their way to our oceans breaking down into millions of pieces. These pieces are gobbled up by marine animals which are then eaten by other animals and so on until eventually those bottles end up in the food on our plates. So next time you pass up on tap water for that "healthier" option, do us all a favour, eat the bottle too. Now go to the site and check out this inspiring company for yourself tapwaterbottle
