Long Lasting Eco Friendly Water Bottles

By Camille Nguyen


Many people these days have a bottle of water nearby to quench their thirst. People often carry a bottle of it to work in order to drink it during the day. Cyclists use it and put it on their bikes, and those who go to the gym use it as well. Many individuals sit or move around their homes with some nearby. And many people now use eco friendly water bottles to put it in from their tap; and there is a good reason for that.

It is very important to get enough fluids everyday, and most people manage to do just that. Keeping hydrated helps your body function properly. Using pre-bought drinks that have traveled a long way to get to them in bottles that are sometimes made with and manufactured with petroleum is the down side of buying it pre-packaged.

Some reasons that many people have started to change to using eco friendly containers are because the plastic used for some disposable bottles contains petroleum, which is a non-renewable energy source. Not only is it used in the plastic, but also in the manufacturing of it as well. This increases Co2 emissions.

The shop bought drinks in disposable plastic containers don't always get recycled; sometimes they end up as landfill, and often they are not biodegradable. They then give off Co2 emissions. Extra Co2 emissions are also created transporting this water from one country to another.

The simple answer to what to do to help stop this happening is to use an eco friendly bottle to put the tap variety in to instead of buying pre-bought. If it is hard water then a filter can be purchased to make it taste sweet again. And the filtering and eco friendly bottle will save you money in the long run instead of using the privatized bottled kind.

Bottled water companies are privatizing a public resource and it is big business. This vital resource is essential to our body. You can not function properly without it. It is a popular drink and it is important to your health.

It is best to drink at least two liters per day of this hydrating fluid per day. This stops you dehydrating. Signs of dehydration show in many ways but a few of them are lack of concentration and lack of energy. Eco friendly water bottles are kind to the environment and last a long time. They are easy to buy, just look on the internet and it will show you the range of them available.
