Enduring the scorching heat of July is tough, especially if you don’t have the time to chill by the swimming pool all day.
We all need to drink more water during these hot summer days to keep ourselves well hydrated. And this means carrying around a handy water bottle wherever you go.
But don’t drink out of a disposable plastic water bottle. Consider getting something more permanent.
Plastic water bottles are harmful to the environment. In addition to wasting nearly 1.5 billion tons of plastic every year, deposable water bottles are not cost effective and can have negative social consequences worldwide. Thankfully, there are manufacturers out there who are taking action.
Earthlust is one organization that does that. Earthlust is a San Francisco-based company that makes custom molded BPA-free stainless steel water bottles that are ethically made in China. BPA stands for Bisphenol A, an organic compound found in polycarbonate plastics. The Food and Drug Administration has reason to believe that BPA can be harmful to people’s health.
Purchasing an Earthlust water bottle is a great investment on many levels; you can help reduce plastic waste and your chances of getting sick while never having to purchase another water bottle again. And the cute butterfly, origami cranes, and fish designs can be a great conversation starter! Be sure to check out all of the Earthlust BPA-Free Bottle designs.
