Ditch The Bottled Water - Eat Clean, Go Green challenge, powered by Compass One Healthcare - Day 5 Tip

Published

Hydration is crucial for health, but are you keeping the environment in mind as you drink?

Disposable, plastic water bottles are bad for the environment. The Container Recycling Institute reports that “86% of plastic water bottles used in the United States become garbage or litter.” The environmental impact of bottled water is 1,400 times higher than the impact from tap water.

And speaking of tap water, it’s just as healthy — if not healthier — than bottled water. The federal government demands much more rigorous and repeated safety testing of municipal drinking water compared to bottled water. And staying hydrated is one of the healthiest things you can do for your body and mind. Water is essential for key bodily functions.

Knowing this, today’s challenge is not to buy or drink bottled water. Instead:
  1. Use a reusable water bottle. Fill it at the beginning of your day and refill it as many times as needed.
  2. Invest in a premium water purifier that removes any remaining contaminants from tap water. Countertop filters are installation-free and more affordable than under sink systems.
