What's Tappening?

I used to be a big fan of bottled water. But I was also cheap. So I'd buy one bottle and refill it over and over again. But really, there were 2 problems with that. For one, I was buying plastic bottles that may or may not leach toxins into my water. Number two, I was still buying multiple bottles of water. Expensive not only to me, but uses energy to create and then takes up space in the landfill.

Enter Tappening.

This company has great facts on not only bottled water but also on the tap water that comes right out of our faucets. I love the fact that a company out there is trying to combat the issue of all these wasted plastic water bottles. I mean really....why are we spending money and resources shipping water all over the country when we have our own water at home? When you really think about it, it does seem rather silly.

They also sent me one of their BPA free water bottles to try out.

While this water bottle may look like others you've seen in the store, the main difference is that it has no BPA (an endocrine disruptor) in it. After using it for a few days around the house, we took it in the car with us for our afternoon out. By the end of the day my husband actually commented on how the water never tasted funny. He's so used to his water tasting like plastic from his water bottles at work, that he noticed such a big improvement over the taste of our own tap water!

Personally I love water bottles. I tend to drink so much more when I have a full one sitting around while I'm at home. It's also holds 32oz, so I'm not running to the kitchen to refill it every couple hours. We love having this bottle around the house, and my husband and I are actually playing tug of war with it trying to decide who gets to claim it as "theirs". So far I'm winning in the aspect that I've been able to hide it in the mornings so he doesn't take it to work with him!
