Here is a fact that many of us consumers often forget: our supply of petroleum based plastics WILL run out.  So why do we yearly waste 2.7 million tons of plastic to bottle water?  Not only are we wasting a limited resource on a vanity item, it also causes a significant amount of environmental damage to transport the water.  It is time we wake up to  these realities and start filtering our own water and taking advantage of reusable bottles.

Not only will you be saving the environment with your own personal filter at home, you will be saving some serious cash.  A 10 stage water filter from New Wave Enviro will give you 1500 gallons of water at the cost of $120.  Every year after, replacement filters cost only $70.  Now lets compare those costs to the price of bottled water.  A bottle of water costs you about $1 per 20 ounce bottle, at the cost of $6.40 per gallon.  1500 gallons of bottled water a year will cost you $9,600.  Over the course of 15 years, the 10 stage filter will save you $142,900!!!  That can almost pay off an entire 4 years tuition at the average university or college.  So why continue to buy bottled water?  If there isn’t a better time to start filtering your own water, when will you start?
