Water Bottles

April 17th, 2008 · 3 Comments

I have been using water bottles forever it seems like. Well on this season of The Biggest Loser, they had a challenge of eliminating the waste from purchased water bottles. They teamed up with Brita and www.filterforgood.com . During the course of the season they eliminated 32,183 at the end of Week 15.  That is pretty awesome.

Now I am not a huge Go Green person etc. I am very much a person of convenience.  But somehow I continue buying atleast 3 cases of water every other week. Kidlet #1 and I drink water like it is going out of style.  Kidlet #3 drinks water from tap. 

When I was at Target last week I bit the bullet and shelled out $29 for the Go Green Brita Pitcher that holds 10 cups of water and came with the free Green 32 oz Nalgene bottle.    I have been drinking atleast 3 bottles of water a day. Which is atleast 96 ozs of water. Yes I am floating away at times. 

According to the website www.filterforgood.com I will save 2190 bottles a year by using the Nalgene water bottle. That is based on drinking 6 water bottles a day. 

Will you join my efforts?  Go to www.filterforgood.com and receive a $5 off Brita Filter system and a $1 off filter coupon as well.   Most of the Brita systems at Target had the free water bottle, which is a $10 value.    How many water bottles will you save this year?
