The quest for clean, potable water is an understandable one. All mammals (and many other forms of life on this planet) need water to sustain them. It is elemental. Sadly, clean drinking water and tasty drinking water are not always synonyms. What’s more, since global populations have exploded without a corresponding increase in municipal infrastructure, many locations around the world now have sour water as the standard at the tap.
This avoidable situation is the reason bottled water has become a huge growth industry, leaving environmental devastation in its wake, in my home state of Florida and around the world. We need to move away from the status quo and earlier this month, I shared with you the fact that the I Am Not Plastic SIGG aluminum water bottle from StopGlobalWarming.org represents a workable solution.
I am the first to admit that bottled water can be a comforting luxury. Dasani is my favorite brand but as I have traveled the world, I have encountered several brands of water which go down great by themselves or with a meal. The problem? Huge consumption of natural resources!
The best option is to carry water with us from home in a sturdy, low-maintenance, reusable container with a long life span. The I Am Not Plastic SIGG aluminum water bottle from StopGlobalWarming.org works for me.
While expensive, this bottle does its job and makes a loud statement at the same time. That’s why I love it. The concept is simple and the execution flawless. All I have to do is remember to bring it home once it is empty.
Much like leaving the supermarket without shopping bags 90% of the time or more, using the SIGG aluminum water bottle allows me to make a statement but I also save money because I have a reverse osmosis filter on my kitchen sink. I just fill it each morning and the quality is the same or better than if I spent $1 per liter for designer or luxury water.
The I Am Not Plastic SIGG aluminum water bottle from StopGlobalWarming.org simultaneously permits my secret smile because I get to preach at people about the evils of plastic water bottles without saying a word.
As petroleum prices continue to rise, we may well see a significant increase in the retail price of water bottled in single-use plastic containers. I will be curious if the change has any effect on buying patterns. At a minimum, it may cause consumers to think twice before indulging in this particular consumptive behavior.
Fortunately, none of us has to wait to learn what happens. We can use a SIGG aluminum water bottle from StopGlobalWarming.org and become part of the solution today.
Alternately, if you prefer a more subtle approach, you can opt for the SIGG aluminum water bottle which contributes to clean water projects in the third world. Just visit ThirstForChange.com and you can join Cindy Crawford in kicking the bottle habit.
