Curious about why we should stop buying bottled water? I am reconsidering my water source... here are 5 Reasons Why You Should Stop Buying Bottled Water.
Why We Should Stop Buying Bottled Water
I have always preferred to use my own water bottle and refill it with filtered water at my house versus buying bottled water.
There are so many reasons I skip buying bottled water. Here are just a few...
5 Reasons Why You Should Stop Buying Bottled Water
Environment
Americans purchase half a billion bottles of water per week. Very few of those bottles are actually recycled and most end up in the landfill or worse yet our oceans. It is too much waste for our planet to handle. And due to how long it takes plastic to decay, those plastic bottles will be around for hundreds of years.
My reusable water bottle holds 32 ounces of water and I drink it twice a day. It would take me 4-6 plastic bottles A DAY to drink that much using disposable bottles. That's around 1,500 bottles a year that aren't going into the dump just from me!
I try hard to make good environmental decisions, and this is one simple way I can make a difference.
Taste
While there are some serious issues with tap water in a few cities and isolated areas around the country (In which case I totally understand buying bottled water,) most tap water is good. If you have any specific concerns you can check with your city water authority or have your water tested.
I've drank tap water my entire life. Filtered tap water usually tastes just as good or better than bottled water. Try a blind taste test. I can almost guarantee you can't tell a difference or you pick the water filtered at home.
Using GE Water Filters is the perfect way to get the healthiest water at home. Their filters remove harmful contaminants that may be in your tap water and helps improve the taste. They also remove minerals and hard deposits for fresher, clearer water.
I have an in-fridge water filter, but GE Appliances also has filters for your entire house, a single sink or even for your Keurig. There is a good option for everyone. The money you save on all those disposable bottles can easily go towards a nice quality, easy to use filter.
Health
It is so much easier to drink a lot of water during the day if you have easy access to it. Buying a BIG water bottle and carrying it with me is key to me actually keeping up with drinking my water. If I was constantly going through small, flimsy plastic bottles there is no way I would keep up. This water bottle helps me stay healthy.
Money
Bottled water costs 300 to 2000 times more than tap water. That markup is insane. I wouldn't put up with that kind of gouging with any other type of purchase, so why this?
Buying a good quality GE water filter is very affordable. One refrigerator filter costs between $45-$55 dollars and lasts 6 months. When you consider how much you save from buying bottled water, it's the best deal out there.
Convenience
We are all busy. I know I don't have time to buy and lug around giant cases of water. Sometimes those cases are even too heavy for me to pick up. It is much more convenient to get my water at home and keep it with me. Plus there is nothing simpler than filling up with filtered water from my GE Water Filter already built into my fridge!

Andy says
Bottled water really affects our body very badly that's the main reason. It contains lot of chemicals in it.
According to mine experience, I would highly recommend glass water bottles for the daily use.
GouldKaty says
I am a big fan of a refillable water bottle and I panic a little when I travel for business about access to additional water to refill my bottle. New plan of action includes refillable water bottle and a gallon jug of water for travel. Ah..ha! https://twitter.com/TheFamilyGould/status/724940331645571072

I keep a big glass near the sink / refrigerator, and I keep water icy cold in the refrigerator. I totally gave up diet soda, and having this refreshingly cold water is wonderful!

Well, to be honest, there are no filters GE currently offers that I would use because I don't have a fancy fridge or coffee maker and can't afford a whole house unit. I prefer to use things like Brita pitchers/fridge tanks for this very reason. That said, if money were no object, I would LOVE to have a whole house reverse osmosis unit! 😀

Love this post 🙂 Honestly, I feel guilty when I buy bottled water. I'll buy fruit water when guests come over because all we drink is water and I feel like I have to offer something with flavor and I always feel bad because it's another wasteful water bottle. We are HUGE fans of hydro flask bottles. We have five bottles that we keep in the fridge and I do not go anywhere without one. I love them because they come in different sizes and colors and keep your water cold ALL day long. I have a water filter on the fridge door and a brita in the fridge. Love me a water bottle 🙂

When I travel for work, we always buy bottled water at the airport. I try and refill it throughout the week to avoid buying more water bottles! I really hate using all of that plastic..

I'm a big fan of water as well and ALWAYS have a water bottle with me! We have a Brits filter, but I'll have to check out GE's!
sheila austin says
I have city water and it taste terrible even using a Brita pitcher was not enough but I would be will to try a GE filter for my sink to see if that would help.
Judy Crowder says
You have just given me a great reason to start drinking more water. Thanks and great "seeing" you again!!!
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious says
I definitely need to cut back on buying bottled water!
Runaway Bridal Planner says
I am guilty of buying bottled water. Yes I do carry a water bottle with me, I have one I love it keeps water ice cold for 24 hours even in the sun. I use it often. But when I travel, like last week I for some reason can't stand the taste of many hotel waters (It's probably all in my head) so yeah I bought a case of bottled water to refill my waterbottle with.
I haven't ever thought about buying a water filter, actually that is something that I really should look into for camping see if I can get one to attach to the trailer sink tap.
Andrea on Vacation says
I'm good about this- never buying bottled water. The exception is when I'm in a foreign country with no water filter and you cannot drink from the tap.
Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy says
I always use reusable bottles and it amazes me how many people still buy bottles and don't recycle them - it's having such a huge impact on the environment.
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
I know our water is safe to drink but it just doesn't taste very good to me. I have not tried a GE filter and I am curious about how that might change the taste.
Jennifer Caccamo says
My kids take a reusable water bottle to school. We would love to fill those bottles with a water filter for the sink.
Samantha Santy says
My mom still buys cases of bottled water for the house and I can't stand it! I am definitely one to fill one of my many bottles and drink from that throughout the day. The only bottled (or canned) water I buy is sparkling/seltzer water. I'm an addict.
Dan Steadman says
I use a refillable water bottle all the time (ok with the exception of at the end of a race when they give disposable water bottles (though I did run a race where they gave a refillable bottle full of water)...would use a filter for the sink,
valmg @ Mom Knows It All says
I didn't realize or didn't recall that there was s National Water Day. We drink a ton of water in our house.
Linda says
I have an LG refrigerator and it does have a filter that we do keep replacing as needed. I drink the water when I'm home but I find the plastic 'take along' bottles have a really plastic after taste. I'm willing to buy a new one if anyone can give me a suggestion.
JulieWunder says
They make both stainless and glass (protected by a plastic cover) ones! One of those might work better for you. Mine is BPA free and doesn't seem to have a taste.
Beverly Moore says
I use a refillable water bottle.

Heather @Fitncookies says
My husband and I were just looking into getting a filter to put under the sink right onto the water line!
Robin Rue (@massholemommy) says
We have filtered water bottles at home, but still end up buying the cases of plastic ones when we travel because they are easier.
Mary Jean Henson says
I have a GE water filter! Love it! I have used filtered, tap water for years!
Jess @ run pink says
We have well water where we live and it tastes so much better than anything else!!! I'm a huge h20 fan. I'm also a fan of not spending money so I have my trusty sparkly pink Nalgene with me everywhere I go. I think my husband would say the same about me. 😉
Allison Bosco says
I always use filtered water and a reusable water bottle. I'm going to do my best not to leave that mark on this beautiful world!

Susie @ SuzLyfe says
i honestly don't know when the last time that I bought a bottle of water was. I'm pretty much a stickler for the reusable bottles!
Lecia Greenway says
I have a GE water filter. It is MWF/MWRA. I love going to the refrigerator and being able to get fresh water straight in my water bottle. I love the YETI! My water stays cold all day!
Tina Honeycutt says
I buy bottled water, but now I am seriously considering a GE water filter. It just makes sense!!

Happy National Water Day !
