The amount of plastic bottles that are used is staggering. A lot of it is families spending money on water, something that is free. Well, free, if you don’t mind the chemicals that come with it. People at just about any income level are not comfortable drinking tap water. In some cases, water can have a strong smell and odor. Yuck! While recycling certainly has it’s place in helping the environment, and is better than just tossing plastic in the trash, there are other options. One is the Aquasana EQ-300 whole house filter. The advantages it offers for the environment is that it uses no electricity, it doesn’t waste lots of water and perhaps best of all you get better quality water than most store bought brands for what works out to be much less than a buck a day. With regards to health, the Earth and saving money, whole house filters can make a lot of sense for many people.
