5 Reasons Why You Should Own A Reusable Water Bottle

Owning a reusable water bottle or a travel infuser is a great idea, especially for the summer. Plastic, non-reusable water bottles are not only bad for the environment and can affect your health, you will also spend much less money with a reusable water bottle.

Here's our list of 5 reasons why you should definitely own a reusable water bottle or a travel infuser:

1. Health

Plastic water bottles contain harmful chemicals called BPA and Phthalates. These chemicals have been linked to multiple health problems such as prostate cancer, breast cancer, diabetes, obesity, liver cancer, and learning problems in children.

2. Durability

Plastic water bottles (bought in cases from the grocery store) are designed to only be used once and are not long lasting. Purchasing a reusable water bottle is ideal because you can use it for many years.

3. Money

Having a reusable water bottle will save you lots of money. Always buying water at the grocery store in plastic bottles can be expensive. Re-filling your water bottle at no extra cost will save you from having to buy multiple cases of water a month. Thereare many public water fountains throughout the country where you can refill your water bottle for free.

4. Environment

By using a reusable water bottle or a travel infuser, you are helping the environment by not adding to the extra waste and plastic on the planet. Even though you recycle your water bottles, they don’t always make it to the recycling plant. Many water bottles end up in a landfill and contribute to the world’s garbage. Having a reusable water bottle will limit the amount of plastic you produce.

5. Adding Flavour

A travel infuser like the MARINO is great for infusing fruit when you want that extra boost of flavour. Non-reusable water bottles are small and difficult to add fruit into. Adding fruit to your water will allow you to enjoy your water with natural flavour instead of drinking sugary juices and sodas.
