Why do we buy water in bottles?
I believe it is because you want to seem like we're h2o that is free of contaminants, free of chlorine, free from fluoride (although Used to do see water in bottles WITH added fluoride...what's going on with THAT!?!).
Sadly, the by-product of drinking water in bottles is plastic bottle waste. Here's what I'm talking about.
Last March, I continued my honeymoon in the heart of the planet, beautiful Ecuador. While in Ecuador, we decided to take a trip to La Isla de la Plata, area of the Machalilla National Forest. It took us 1 hour 30 minutes by boat to get to the area, which means you know it is a ways off shore. We hiked round the island, exploring the birds which were native there experiencing the scenery.
Then, we found an overlook that gave us a spectacular look at the remote beach below. I was astonished and disappointed to see, literally, hundreds of plastic bottles on the shore line!
Plastic containers, around the beach of a remote island in the Atlantic!!
I remember thinking to myself that I won't ever drink from a plastic bottle again.
So, where do I find water that is clean?
In fruit!
Consider it, a fruit tree takes water that soaks and filters with the ground and, through its root system, moves up in to the tree, where it remains filtered as it moves out toward the branches. The water that's within the fruit continues to be filtered by soil, by roots, and by the tree itself. Certainly, there isn't a more pure form of water that you could find!
- Remember to buy organic as often as you possibly can to prevent contaminating your brand-new "water supply" with pesticides. If you reside in Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Washington, Arizona, Texas, Wyoming or Colorado, there is a wonderful co-op called Bountiful Baskets where one can buy a full basket (more like a bin) of organic fruits and vegetables just for $25.
When you're eating the recommended quantity of areas of fruits and vegetables, you will be getting all of the water you need...the cleanest water you'll find!
