Today’s tip is an easy way to reduce plastic pollution in the world and feel really good about the positive impact you are having on our environment. Specifically, we’re talking about no longer buying water in single use plastic bottles.
It’s a very small change, it will save you money - and if everyone did this from tomorrow, it would make a huge difference to our planet.
"Although plastic bottles are technically recyclable, many end up in landfill and can take up to 1000 years to break down. When littered they often end up in the sea where they break up in small pieces, killing marine life that mistake them for food."
Today’s simple tip is to switch to a reusable water bottle.
Avoid buying bottled water and simply drink tap water instead, filling your own bottle before you leave the house and washing it out at the end of the day, ready to use again tomorrow.
If you’re worried about the taste or quality of your tap water, install a tap filter or use a filter jug at home and refill your reusable bottle from there. You can buy a reusable bottle from most local grocery or homeware shops for just a few dollars.
The hardest part is remembering to take it with you, so keep it in an assigned place in your home that’s easy to see or set a reminder on your phone to take it with you each morning.
Give it a try and let me know how it works out for you - and if you have any other ideas on how to make bringing your own water simple and easy, leave a comment below or on our Facebook Page.
