The almost summer heat has been warmer than expected. This past weekend it was in the high-90s, and we haven’t even had our official “first day of summer celebration.” Add humidity into the mix and it can seem unbearable most days. We keep cases of water on hand because we know we must stay hydrated. I was amazed at how many water bottles we went through over the weekend alone. I guess you can say…”the thirst was real!” This post is sponsored by Brita but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.
We need water. Drinking water provides us with so many great benefits. But there are benefits that go beyond just drinking water that cause a ripple effect bettering the lives of everyone on the planet as well as how we use our resources.
We live in a time where convenience is everything. I love convenience too, but sometimes we have to re-evaluate to see what will help us live better, sustainable lives. The use of plastic has been a concern for as long as I can remember, and yes, that includes the use of water bottles. I know I’m not the only one that has a water bottle habit. I have purchased bottled water by the case, but now I don’t have to thanks to Brita!
The Brita Monterey Pitcher with Longlast™ Filter can replace up to 1,800 single-use plastic bottles a year. That’s…A LOT of water bottles. Think about how many water bottles we use daily? We spend $13 billion on bottled water each year. Also, knowing that 2,000 water bottles are used every second in the U.S., and we use enough plastic water bottles a year to circle the earth 330 times — that should definitely encourage us to make the switch. And besides, our beautiful oceans do not have to be filled with plastic. By using my own personal refillable water bottle, the Brita Monterey Pitcher with Longlast™ Filter will improve the world we live in.
When the Brita Monterey Pitcher with Longlast™ Filter is used, you are drinking filtered water which will help reduce plastic waste while reducing 99% of lead, as well as Mercury, Chlorine, Benzene, and more. It also filters out odors and impurities. Another great thing about using The Brita Monterey Pitcher with Longlast™ Filter is the water tastes great! In addition, you will get great value out of it because it lasts for six months, and it’s the longest lasting lead removing filter.
I want to do my part and help improve the quality of the planet. We don’t have to sacrifice taste, and we can still get great value with a cost effective solution. By switching to the Brita Monterey Pitcher with Longlast™ Filter we can do our part. Instead of filling my cart with heavy cases of bottled water this summer, I’m going to live better with Brita!
I definitely need to get one of these. It would save us so much money!
Yes! It was definitely an eye-opener for us.
We love our Brita! And I love these ideas. We need to be so conscious!
Brita Monterey Pitcher with Longlast™ Filter sounds like such a great product. I want to try it for myself.
We’ve had a Brita pitcher for years! It absolutely is a much better solution than constantly buying single-use plastic bottles!
These are great tips! Being in the go during the summer makes this harder!
