Planet earth is our home and that means we need to look after it. Three quarters of its surface is covered in water, so it’s no surprise that the way we use, treat and distribute this water is vitally important to the environment. After all, what’s the point of keeping ourselves healthy, if our world becomes an unhealthy place to live?

 

Filtering water at home is one way we can help keep ourselves, and our planet, in tip top condition. In an ideal world, tap water would be as clean and as pure as Mother Nature intended. In reality, it can contain herbicides, pesticides, chlorine and even heavy metals like lead and aluminium. In other words, pollution.

 

Bottled water is not the answer. The impact of manufacturing, storage and transportation on the environment is great. In the UK alone, of the one and a half million tons of plastic bottles produced each year, only 7% gets recycled. The rest ends up on landfill sites. Because a quarter of all bottled water is drunk outside its country of origin, the resulting ‘water miles’ mean thousands of tons of harmful emissions are released into the atmosphere.

 

So you see, by using an Aqua Optima water filter, you not only remove impurities from your water, but you also help reduce climate change, global warming, carbon emissions, chemical waste and pollution. Every little action helps to save our planet…
