Every time I visit my gym, I see the huge tub of water bottles that people leave for recycling. All I can think of is the huge amount of plastic we are using on a daily basis!

I prefer to use a reusable sports bottle to save my little bit of the environment. I had the chance to sample a Clearly Filtered water filtration bottle in the “Athlete Edition.” It’s made from BPA-free plastic with a nice rubber grip around the middle. You can squeeze it slightly to force the water up. It’s the perfect size for the gym and gives me fresh filtered water right out of the tap! I also love the drinking spout – much better than the pop up button type spouts that don’t always close all the way, leaking much of the time. The Clearly Filtered bottle filters out chlorine and fluoride, just to name a few things we don’t want to drink, meaning you can fill your bottle from any fresh running freshwater source such as a lake, stream, or river. Perfect for hiking trips!
The Athlete Edition bottle holds 28 ounces and the filter will last about 6 months (compared to about 2 months with most popular filter bottles). I think this would be the perfect bottle for kids to take to school, and assure moms they are getting fresh filtered drinking water while away.
Clearly Filtered offers two other water bottles in stainless steel, one of which is insulated. They also offer a water filter pitcher so you can keep fresh cold water nice and handy in the fridge, eliminating the waste from tons of bottled water!

The Clearly Filtered 8 cup water pitcher system is also BPA free plastic and the filter life is an amazing 200 gallons (compared to 26-40 with other brand name water filter pitchers). This is a great way to keep ice cold water readily available in the fridge.
