Who doesn’t like the fresh, crisp taste of expertly filtered bottled water? Whether it’s a sweltering afternoon laying in the sand or just another day at the office, you gotta admit that water hits the rehydration spot. But you know what’s the problem with constantly drinking bottled water, as spectacular as it may be? Thousands and thousands of disposable plastic water bottles that aren’t being recycled, that’s what. I mean, you can try to do your part when you’re at home by using the same cup throughout the day. Even better, you could use a home water filtration system, like one that fits right onto the tap of your kitchen sink. Now, that’s all very well and good, but what are you supposed to do once you set foot outside your plastic eco-friendly bubble?
Well all you have to do is set yourself up with the Guyot Designs TapGuard Filter (Amazon, $16.50) and you can have clean water in mere moments. What’s the deal, you ask? This contraption is basically a portable filtration system for your water bottle. It uses the same technology as your home water filtration system, but it’s more compact to make it ultra convenient. Each carbon pouch within the unit provides about 200 liters of filtered water, removing up to 95% of chlorine, iodine, and other chemicals. The filter system is available in slate, tangerine, and tahoe blue, so you can pick which color best suits your personality. This package includes the unit itself, as well as two replacement carbon pouches. It fits most wide mouth bottles, but probably works best with Camelback or Nalgene bottles. So not only does this solve the problem of filtered water on the go, but if you’re using a durable hard plastic bottle over and over, you’re also saving the environment from all those disposable water bottles in the landfills. Not to mention, you’re probably saving a bundle by not having to continuously buy price-gouging bottled water from the store.
So to recap: you’re getting deliciously pure water for pennies and contributing to a green lifestyle, with basically no real effort on your part. That’s pretty decent of you. I mean, you probably don’t have to do anything for the rest of the day. You should just call in sick. Better yet, call and tell them that you’re too busy saving the planet. I mean, it’s kinda true.
