Don't Buy Bottled Water!

The bottled water craze of the past few years has resulted in a floating "island" of plastic corralled by whirlpool-like currents in the middle of the Pacific ocean. Most of these bottles are said to come from the United States and China, so if you think that those items are being recycled, think again. Additionally, the type of plastic used in these products often contain bisphenyl-A, an estrogen mimic that has been implicated in many health disorders. If you need water on the go and you tap water is treated with chlorine, buy either a faucet or whole-house filtering system and a stainless steel travel bottle. This method is cheaper in the long run, better for the environment and better for your health.
