Don’t Recycle Soda and Sparkling Water Bottles

With the average American consuming over 600 cans or bottles of soda and sparkling water each year, think of the environmental impact of reducing just a fraction of that.

Enter the perfect replacements – reusable containers paired with water filters and CO2 infusers! I am almost overwhelmed at the reasons why these are such great devices, here are just a few:

  • Huge reduction of ‘disposable’ glass bottles, plastic bottles and cans
  • Reduction in indirect transport-related emissions (from moving all those very heavy, liquid filled containers)

  • no more ‘flat’ drinks wasted or thrown away- just recharge them
  • it’s cheaper!
