Recent media coverage of the impact bottled water consumption has made on our environment has sparked a lot of outrage in many of its users… who apparently had never really considered or thought about all the containers they have purchased and discarded over the years until now.

But more importantly it has raised a very important question:

What can consumers use in place of bottled water since they clearly don’t fully trust the tap water readily available to them?

Since the idea of lugging a 5-gallon bottle of purified water around everywhere people go offers quite a few logistical problems, we shall have to seek out another answer… How about travel-size portable water bottles with built-in filtration units? Brilliant!

The links below will take you to affordable, reliable portable water solutions which if used in place of bottled water, should greatly reduce the number of waste products winding up in landfills:
