More and more blogs are dedicated to the promotion of environmentally sound products. This is true in the water products manufacturing industry as well. Here at Fresh Water Systems, we promote products and ideas that we think are not only good for the environment, but good for the consumer. A recent example: the Klean Kanteen.
But first, let's look at some trends. Americans have a love/hate relationship with water.
1) Clean water is expensive and difficult to maintain. It is a vulnerable product, easily contaminated and regularly misused. But we need water to survive.
2) We want water while we are at work or on the road, while we exercise or study. We want water that is clean and refreshing, and also affordable. People are tired of paying two dollars for a plastic bottle of water.
3) Sure, we want water on the go. But the days of buying three or four plastic bottles of water from the local convenient store are over. Not only the cost, but by purchasing so many bottles we are contributing to the plastic bottle recycling problem. It takes a whole lot of money, manpower, and energy to recycle. Until we make it easier, we need a solution to the water bottle.
This is where the Internet is king. It is ripe with solutions. Don't know something, can't find a product? Look it up, narrow your search, and pick out your favorite. Simple, right?
Well yes, and no. With so many choices, the task grows intimidating. Which product is the best, whom can I trust? Which is the most affordable. All of these are notable and common concerns.
When it comes to water bottles--to finding a solution that works for you--the people over at the Good Human have an informative article on how to choose a safe, re-usable water bottle.
If you aren't convinced that buying a re-usable water bottle is an important investment, check out this MSNBC article. It describes how much plastic bottle waste Americans are producing, how difficult it is to control, and the sober, enlightened advice of environmental experts.
Fresh Water Systems cares about water. We care about its cleanliness. And we care about our customers. We want you to have water products that fit your lifestyle, products that are affordable, well-made, and eco-friendly.
Be sure to check out our line of re-usable water bottles. We call it the Klean Kanteen. It's affordable, crafted from stainless steel, and is a smart alternative to the plastic water bottle.
