Champion the tap!
Our water is amongst the cleanest in the world...
...so perhaps we take this for granted? And guess what? There are no proven health benefits of bottled water over tap and blind tastes show that most people fail to identify one over the other. Bottled water isn't even as tightly controlled/regulated as tap water either, so you don’t really know what you’ll be getting.
Get a glogg, get out of your bottled water habit and save a fortune!
Not convinced by the taste of your tap water?
Chilled often tastes better, so keep a jug of it in the fridge and top up your glogg from there (and a glogg bottle's tough, reflective shell will keep water cooler for longer!). If you live in a soft water area then why not invest in a water filter? This again can be kept in the fridge and you can top up with lovely fresh chilled water whenever you need to!

- Over 40% of bottled water is simply tap water in disguise.
- Your average plastic bottle takes over 1000 years to biodegrade
- Water is heavy - fact, and transporting bottles of it around the country is estimated to create more than 33,000 tons of C02 emissions - equivalent to the annual energy consumption of 6,000 homes, or driving your car round the world about two and half thousand times. Now, bottle of water from The Alps or Fiji anyone?
People are waking up to the fact that a consumption mentality leads to a throwaway society. It's wasteful of the world's natural resources, causes serious issues with dealing with waste as well as damaging consumers' pockets.
