Make a Difference with Your Water!

As you may or may not know, my word for this year is 'revive', so I'm doing my best to breathe life back into every aspect of my life. From sprucing up our house by changing the furniture all around to switching up our daily routines, I'm all about improving old habits and letting go of those that no longer serve me or those around me.

One way that I've recently started to revive our home (and well, our bigger 'home' a.k.a. mother nature) is making a change for the better with our new Brita pitcher. After hearing the shocking news that 2,000 water bottles are being used every single second, with each one taking 450 years to decompose, they estimate in 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish! After hearing startling facts like that, it's easy to come to the conclusion that something needs to change immediately, so that's what we did! As a family, we made a change in how we get our water and we aren't looking back.

With a quick trip to Target we all nixed our plastic-y bottle habit, grabbed a few super cool reusable bottles, and added a Brita Longlast Pitcher into our daily routines. It was an easy choice to make when I realized that our Brita not only helps save the planet, but actually helps provide us with better water than anything we were buying by the bottle.

How so? Well, Brita actually reduces 99% of the lead in tap water, as well as mercury, chlorine, benzene, and more! I can already taste the difference and the best part is, the longlast filters mean we will be able to taste the delightful difference in the water for a long while and we won't have to buy a new filter for around 6 months or so! That means we are able to save some cash each time we hit the grocery store since we no longer have to buy water!

So tell me, are you ready to ditch the plastic and get hydrated with Brita? Get the details here.
