Drink Wataah!

 

 

It seems the older children grow, the less likely they are to choose water over sugary drinks.  It’s great that the company WAT-AAH! designed sugar-free water specifically targeted for kids and teens! WAT-AAH! is free of artificial flavors, artificial colors, additives and sugar. It has the essential ingredients such as magnesium, electrolytes, and oxygen. These BPA free bottles are fun to carry around because the design and graphics are so fun!  The marketing for this bottle is fabulously perfected from the colors, bottle shape, illustration, and website!  I am drawn toward companies that not only produce great products but also have a clear identity.  I flaunted these bottles at my son’s birthday party and they were gone as quickly as I put them out.  It was great to see people prefer water to sugary drinks. I definitely give this company high marks for the effort they put into helping our children drink more water!

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!  CONGRATS, AMIE!  YOU ARE THE WINNER!

Here is a wonderfully green product that is not only earth-friendly but also eye-catching.  The KOR water is something I carry everywhere and people always stop and ask what it is, and where I got it.  The look of this bottle alone encourages others to reduce the use of store bought bottles and purchase one of these!

“KOR is an elemental expression of the word “core,” which refers to the central, innermost, or most essential part. Every person has core values, a core personality, and core aspirations”

One of my favorite features is the design of the hinged cap and handle that allows for quick and easy access for drinking!  My only concern is that you have to be careful not to drop it because the plastic top, while sturdy, is not indestructible.

In general, this BPA free reusable container is not only healthier for the planet but is also fabulously designed with striking colors and promotes healthier living!  For those sick of twist off caps and unsightly designs, invest in Kor One water vessel!

Tappening.com- Website Wednesday

I discovered this website through Parents With Style.  Being an avid filtered tap water drinker I immediately was curious.  Besides they have a really cute water bottle they sell (see left).  So I clicked to browse and learn more.  

This is the tip of the iceburg on some of the facts I learned:

Tap water facts:

  • Why would you want to pay more for a product whose quality is worse than the water that flows from the faucet in your home?
  • More than 99.9 percent of Americans live in homes where unlimited amounts of fresh, treated water is available…so turn on the tap!
  • Tap water contains chlorination which kills bacteria
  • Water systems that provide tap water have to test for water pathogens that can cause intestinal problems, bottled water companies don�t do this
  • City tap water can have no confirmed E.coli or fecal coliform bacteria. FDA bottled water rules include no such prohibition (a certain amount of any type of coliform bacteria is allowed in bottled water)
  • City tap water, from surface water, must be filtered and disinfected. In contrast, there are no federal filtration or disinfection requirements for bottled water.

Bottled water facts:
  • Bottled water uses energy and resources to create packaging for something that runs cheaply and cleanly from the faucet in your own home
  • Not only is it expensive and energy demanding to make bottles, but then to ship the bottled water costs more money and isn’t eco-friendly
  • 96% of bottled water is sold in single-size polyethylene terephthalate plastic bottles, which end up in city trash cans rather than recycling bins. The national recycling rate for all PET bottles, including soda bottles, is 23.1 percent
  • About 4 billion PET bottles end up in the waste stream, costing cities around 70 million dollars a year in cleanup and landfill costs
  • Bottled water costs around as much as a bottle of soda or juice, which obviously requires additional ingredients and processing, yet people pay for it

Honestly, before I didn’t drink tap because of all the wasted plastic water bottles filling our landfill.  To me it tasted just as good in our town, it was cheaper, it was less of a hassle and was more convenient.  Tappening has given me more resolve to be a tap water drinker.  And I think I may just order that cute green bottle too!
