Consider non-green bottles, bottled water.
The bottles containing water are usually made of plastic, which is produced victories in almost all cases of petroleum-based materials.Oil is not a renewable resource.
Energy is needed to produce the bottles, the water that goes into them, and fill the bottles.
Energy is needed for the water bottle in the store or ship the point of purchase.
And energy is needed from the store to buy bottled water and bring them home.
Bottled water is also expensive compared to tap water are much more expensive.
And here's another surprising fact: Most plastic bottles are notrecycled. According to recent estimates are that about 80% of the bottles end up in landfills.
Given the fact that the water sold in plastic bottles, is harmful to the environment, what are the options to avoid bottled water? The first and most obvious is to drink tap water. It 'almost certainly safe if you live in a developed country. The only reason not to drink the tap water you do not like the taste. If the taste of tap water is a problem for you, try one of theMany filtration products. Brita filters, for example, proper fit on the faucet and the water-filers, as it comes out, often to remove all traces of contaminants that can contribute to bad taste.
Water with you to keep in the car or on your desk at work, bottles can be refilled and reused to reduce the waste problem.
Another option is a whole house system of water treatment. Here you have a lot of options, but the best alternative is a water treatment plant that usesActivated carbon filtration. This system is to remove traces of impurities and improve taste of your water clear.

If you do, know that there is a forward and maintenance costs and other compromises. You need both an ionExchange system for the water coming into the house and a reverse osmosis filter for drinking water. The ion exchanger, the mineral water "hard" to do away with charging requires standard saline sodium chloride and used to load the extra water. The brine discharge from the ion exchanger is in the room for treatment of wastewater, which may be some environmental costs. The advantage is greatly reduced requirement for soap, shampoo, and washingCleaner clothes and dishes, and removal of scale on taps and showers.
A green lifestyle should avoid the use of mineral water. Through the use of tap water, filtered or treated, if necessary, you can save energy, reduce waste and save money.
