We all have heard that plastic bottles are harmful to the environment, it’s something that’s been drummed into us a lot over recent years. However, despite this awareness, the reduction of plastic use has not resulted in any significant drop in plastic use.
So we’re going to abstain from the lecture. Instead, we’re going to give you some facts about plastic, and some obvious solutions (like getting a home water purification system…duh), and just like a plastic bottle—you can take it or leave it.
Bottled water isn’t what you think it is:
Many people have the misconception that bottled water is of higher quality. Well, despite the clever advertising of clear waterfalls and serene mountain springs, turns out this is just not true. Most bottled water actually comes from similar sources as your municipal water supply, which means the only thing special about your bottled water, is its pretty label.
It could contain plastic toxins
Whenever you drink from a plastic bottle, you risk ingesting the chemicals used in producing these bottles. This is even more likely with older bottles or those exposed to heat, so the hundreds of bottles lying around your car? These could actually cause you serious harm.
It may not even be filtered
That’s it, that’s the headline. Many bottled water companies literally use the same water you have in your taps, you’re just paying more for the packaging. Some say that the water that comes directly to your home may even be safer, as it’s highly regulated. The EPA regulates public tap water supplies and sets legal limits for hundreds of contaminants that could show up in the water, and they regularly test for these contaminants. Alternatively, bottled water undergoes very little regulation, and recent studies have found traces of phthalates, mold, microbes, arsenic, and thousands of other contaminants in bottled water.
Considering bottled water may not be as pure, or as safe, as many people think, you would likely get the purest drinking water by filtering your tap water at home.
The water from a BIBO bar is the purest, healthiest, and best tasting out there. That’s because we insist on only using the latest technology to filter and purify your water.
