Drink to the Earth!


Whether you believe in global warming or not, the environment is always worth taking care of. One of the many current issues out there right now is the consumption of bottled water and other beverages in plastic containers. Bottled water is extremely popular among consumers regardless of the fact that its no healthier than tap water, it produces nearly 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year, and is part of the overall corporatization of water. Boxed Water is taking a new approach to bottling water by boxing it up in recyclable, sustainable cartons that are better for the environment. Currently that are only available in Michigan but are expected to be sold everywhere soon. If you want to take further action now, check out this site.
