The Filter For Good 32oz Wide Mouth Water Bottle by Nalgene isn't your average water bottle. It's made of a super-tough Polycarbonate plastic which can be used at home, but is built to survive an active lifestyle. This water bottle sports a side measure and a wide mouth to fit ice cubes and allow fast refilling.
Other benefits:
- 32 ounce capacity means less frequent fill-ups
- Made of Polycarbonate plastic for extreme durability and super long life
- Resists stains and won't retain odors
- Withstands temperatures from 211 degrees below zero to 275 degrees above zero - how's that for extreme?!?
- Dishwasher Safe
Each year, Americans dump nearly 38 Billion water bottles into landfills... a staggering number when you think about it.
If that doesn't make you cringe, consider that it takes 1.5 million barrels of oil to make all those bottles - that's right, all that plastic is basically just reformulated crude! Turning that oil into billions of throw-away bottles takes an incredible amount of energy, and pumps millions of tons of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
Brita and Nalgene have teamed up to create the FilterForGood Pledge - a simple commitment to reduce your personal waste by giving up bottled water.
And you don't need to stop drinking water to do your part... just start drinking filtered water in a reusable bottle! It's an easy change that can make a big difference.
"Isn't bottled water the same as filtered water?"
Most people assume that bottled water is some sort of ultra-purified, mineral-rich water from a glacial spring deep within the earth. The truth is that most brands of bottled water are nothing more than pre-packaged tap water - that's right, just like the water you get at home for free! So, even the fanciest bottle of water isn't any tastier (or healthier) than what you get straight out of the tap.
Filtered water, on the other hand, actually tastes better because most filters remove the chlorine, sediment, and rust typically found in tap water. In addition, many household water filters make water healthier by removing pesticides, lead, and nasty chemicals like MTBE.
"What's wrong with throwing away disposable plastic bottles... isn't that what they're made for?"
You might be surprised to find out that production of disposable water bottles requires a tremendous amount of oil. Turning all that oil into billions of throw-away bottles takes an incredible amount of energy, and pumps millions of tons of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. And sadly, less than 23% of the disposable water bottles purchased last year were later recycled, creating an imense amount of waste in our landfills.
Do your part and SAVE MONEY at the same time
Considering the cost of a reusable bottle, a water filtering pitcher, and replacement filters, you can drink filtered water for about 18¢ a day. The same amount of bottled water would cost nearly 5 times as much!
