Caring for the Earth and your kids one sip at a time { New Brita Kids’ Bottle}

Little S takes a water bottle with her wherever she goes. I should say that I send a water bottle with her wherever she goes. I remember being a kid (before water was sold by the bottle) and feeling like I was dying of thirst while I was on-the-go with my parents. I always had to wait until I got home and sometimes that took forever.

I always fill up her stainless steel water bottle with filtered water before we leave home. I’m not into buying bottled water unless we absolutely have to. I feel sort of guilty adding to all the waste so reusable bottles are right for us.

The only problem with this is that when we have to fill it up, it’s often not with filtered water. That is why I am super stoked about sharing today’s post with you!

It takes an estimated three litres of water to produce one litre of bottled water. –filterforgood.ca

COMING SOON TO A STORE NEAR YOU

Lucky for us we got to try out a Brita® Kids’ Bottle before they hit stores. From its cute design (pink with butterflies had Little S really excited) to its water filtering capabilities, this reusable water bottle is a hit with both kids and parents.

The child-sized addition to the Brita® Bottle line, the Brita® Kids’ Bottle is a squeezable, reusable bottle that filters water as you drink it, making it convenient for your little ones to enjoy great-tasting tap water at school, camp and wherever.

The new Brita® Kids’ Bottle will be available at mass merchandise stores across Canada in August 2012.

Worldwide, an estimated 2.4 million metric tonnes of plastic are used to bottle water each year. – filterforgood.ca
