Win a Brita Faucet Filter from EcoTech Daily!
April is Earth Month. To celebrate — and to mark the official launch of EcoTech Daily — we’ve teamed up with FilterForGood to help stomp out bottled water waste.
Bottled water is big business these days. It’s also a big source of pollution. Every year, bottled water generates 1.5 million tons of plastic garbage. While most plastic bottles are recyclable, less that 25 percent go anywhere other than a landfill — or the environment. And to make all that trash, bottle companies consume over 1.5 million barrels of oil annually. While drinking water is good for you, choosing bottled water isn’t such a great deal for Mother Nature.
As it turns out, most of those expensive bottles at your local convenience store are actually filled with filtered tap water. So why not cut out the waste and save money by filtering your own?
