Why do we buy water in bottles?

In my opinion it is because we want to seem like we're drinking water that's free of contaminants, free from chlorine, free of fluoride (although Used to do see bottled water 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.

水宅配て

Last March, I continued my honeymoon in the heart of the world, beautiful Ecuador. While in Ecuador, we chose to vacation to La Isla de la Plata, part of the Machalilla National Forest. It took us 1 hour 30 minutes by boat to get at the island, which means you know it is a ways off shore. We hiked around the island, exploring the birds which were native there and enjoying the scenery.

Then, we came to an overlook that gave us a spectacular view of the remote beach below. I was astonished and disappointed to determine, literally, hundreds of plastic bottles around the shore line!

Plastic bottles, around the beach of a remote island within the Atlantic!!

I remember thinking to myself which i won't ever drink from the plastic bottle again.

So, where will i find water that is clean?

In fruit!

Think about it, a fruit tree takes water that soaks and filters with the ground and, through its root system, moves up into the tree, where it remains filtered because it moves out toward the branches. The water that is in the fruit continues to be filtered by soil, by roots, and by the tree itself. Certainly, there isn't a more pure type of water that you could find!

• Remember to buy organic as often as possible to avoid contaminating your brand-new "water supply" with pesticides. If you live in Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Washington, Arizona, Texas, Wyoming or Colorado, there's a wonderful co-op called Bountiful Baskets where one can buy a full basket (more like a bin) of organic vegetables and fruit for just $25.

When you are eating the recommended quantity of areas of fruits and vegetables, you will be getting all of the water you need...the cleanest water you can find!
