A Great Alternative to Bottled Water

Have you seen the commercial that claims we could circle the globe 6 times with the number of plastic bottles currently in landfills? If true... what a terrible picture that presents. I know bottled water is convenient, and we like to think it's healthier than water straight from the tap, but if we're not recycling those disposable bottles, are we really making the best choice? Additionally, how much money do you suppose we spend on bottled water annually?


My kids are in TaeKwonDo and attend class 4 times a week. We tend to refill a water bottle... the one with the freezer pack insert. This means we aren't paying for bottled water, but we are buying a lot of cartridges for our water purification system, which is nothing more than a fancy pitcher! lol With the kids in TaeKwonDo so often, I've seen a whole lot of children bringing (and buying at the center) bottled water... I have to wonder if the Hydration Station might be something the owner of that center might consider investing in?

Over time, the school could save a lot of people money on bottled water and those students bringing a disposable bottle every class, would be sparing the landfill a good chunk of plastic. Instead of buying a $1 bottle everyday, they could bring a reusable sports bottle to each class, take it the hydration station and fill it with polished tap water... meaning water that's been purified through a state-of-the-art water filtration technology.

Not only is the hydration station equipped to deliver clean, refreshing, and oh so healthy water... but it does it without levers, buttons or switches, so it's completely hygienic. No need for children or adults to touch anything on the system, or risk sharing germs with other students... it's all automatic. At the placement of an empty bottle, the hydration station begins filling! What a great way to encourage hydration too... and not with sodium rich sports drinks or carbonated sodas.
 



This system isn't designed for home use, but is perfect for any office, gym, library, or school. It's something I'd love to see in public areas... so much more inviting than a dirty water fountain or a cooler filled with plastic bottles and nowhere to dispose of the empties. What a great idea for healthier bodies and a healthier planet!
