Water Bottle, not Bottled Water

One of the practical things we learned last year during Is God Green? is how much potential damage bottled water can have on our environment. In an attempt to be responsible, Rachel and I have done the best we could to avoid buying more bottled water (which had been a previous habit). Today, I came across a great deal that I thought I would pass along.

Sam's club has a great deal on a Brita and Nalgene combination package. We've been Brita users in the past, but had put the pitcher away in the cabinet. We've simply used the refrigerator door's built-in filtering for the past several months. However, I had come to notice that it did not take much for the water to no longer be cold. Anyway, the Sam's deal includes a new pitcher, 2 filters, and 2 Nalgene bottles for $25. Nalgene sells the bottles on their website for $10/each.

Here's an additional option. Take the Filter for Good pledge, and they'll give you a $5/off coupon toward your purchase. This, in essence, means that you get the Brita pitcher and 2 filters free.

Not only is this "green" from an environmental perspective, it saves "green" from a financial perspective. It is one of those rare Win-Win situations.
