I found this filter company that recycles cartridges. They also donate to Surfrider (clean the beaches) and UNICEF.

Sounds cool…

I’m typically a fridge water girl, but I’m in Tucson, and it is hotter than Hades here! So we do stock up on bottles of water when it’s on sale. I send my kids to school with refillable water bottles, but when we are going to be out and about without a place to put an empty bottle I reach in the fridge for my Arrowhead (or whatever else was on sale).

I have a water filter on my tap and it tastes better than bottled any day. I bought a case of mason jars and a set of plastic lids for them. Altogether it was $10.00. We use these instead of plastic bottles. It keeps the water colder if you like it really cold and I don’t have to worry about throwing away caps to bottled water. You can wash them with ease. Everything about them is pure simplicity.

i drink bottled water here and there, but not a lot. I tend to fill up bottles with tap water more often than not, but once in a while I’ll buy a case of water if it’s on sale for really cheap. We have good water from tap, it just takes forever to get cold, so really it has to already be in a pitcher and ready to drink or else we go through a ton of ice.

We don’t drink bottled water — we don’t see the point. Our tap water looks and tastes fine. We don’t want to spend the money on bottled water (I don’t even like the way some brands taste), nor do we want to use that much plastic. If we had a contaminant issue with our tap water or some similar problem, then I would consider getting bottled water (but in bigger jugs - not in the little pint/quart size bottle) and I certainly understand why people in those situations use it. What I don’t understand is why people with perfectly good tap water buy bottled water all the time

I’ve gotten in the habit of carrying my Nalgene water bottle around with me, though, so I always have water with me. Husband takes his thermos with him if we’re out hiking or walking and I believe he has Brita pitcher at work. We always like to have water with us.

I’ve decided to drink bottled water because by doing so, I am helping children in Ethiopia!!! You know the little everyday good action. Volvic gives through UNICEF 10 liters of clean drinkable water to children in Ethiopia.
Makes me feel good.

Whenever I’m at my parent’s home (quite often, actually) I nix the filter. The water tastes fine; half the time we only THINK we taste something because we will it to be there. Want proof? Follow your waiter and see what water he adds to your glass in the restaurant. It comes straight from the tap 9 times out of 10. They add ice, lemon, etc. to make us think it tastes cleaner.

The only time I believe people need filters is if their plumbing is old. I live in a city apartment, and plumbing there is very old, so it does have an admittedly odd taste. But I am concerned that people think filters are so much better. Those filters are non-recycleable, at least, the Brita ones aren’t. I’m trying to stomach plain tap but I’m keeping the filters I think, at least until I find a suitable, recycleable replacement.
