Simple Tips :: Cleaner, Safer Personal Drinking Water

Just received this email from the Environmental Working Group:

Dear Nicole,

We all want to drink clean water. But the truth is, tap water across America isn't as clean as it should be, and bottled water isn't necessarily any better. To help you start drinking cleaner water, EWG researchers put together some simple tips.

You'll learn:

* How to identify the contaminants in your home tap water
* How to choose a filter that works
* Why you should skip the bottled water
* How to find safer reusable water bottles



What's the problem with tap and bottled water?

In recent months, EWG has thoroughly researched both tap and bottled water -- and we're not very impressed with either. Tests we compiled from water utilities nationwide show more than 300 pollutants in the nation's tap water, more than half of which are unregulated -- meaning they aren't subject to any health or safety regulations and can legally be present in any amount. Bottled water may be just tap water in a plastic bottle, often minus the contaminant testing reports provided by your water utility.

The good news is you can easily drink safer water by filtering your tap water and skipping the bottled water. Check out the simple tips compiled by EWG researchers!


Thanks for reading!
