Did you know that lots and lots of the bottled water is just coming from the tap like you have at home?
Yes the big brands just get the water from the tap to and filter it like you could do at home to by getting a water filter like Brita and that way you water will be a lot cheaper and you don’t get all those nasty plastic bottles that are not healthy for you either.
We all go to the fastfood places once in a while or get a coffee on the go.
But what happends to all those paper cups that end up living in your car?
I thought about this and got a bit disapointing everytime I disposed them in a garbage bin.
So now I recycle them. They seem like carboard to me so what I do is I drop them in the carboard recycling bins at the Recycle centre.
And if you worry about bugs enjoying them to much then I have a little tip for you.
Just put a little bit of water just 1 cm or so and then put the plastic top on and turn it around and the cup is kinda cleaned and will not attract the little bugs.
So now I am building a stack of papercups at home ready for my next recycle run!
Do like many have the light at you porch or front door on all night?
If so then I hope that you at least have an energy saving light bulb in there and of course not only to save you electricity but mainly to make a saving in the electricity so that we spend less resources.
You know it could be an option to get a outside lamp that has a build in sensor that makes it go on when someone approaches the lamp this way it only gets on when it needs to.
As you can see saving electricity is easy and can help our planet to become a little bit better!
I wonder about something.
We all know that our water that comes from the tap is cleaned before it go’s true all those pipes to my sink.
But how save are all those chemicals they use to clean the water? And how save are all those things they put in our water like Floride because the goverment thinks we need it?
I personally use a water filter because for me the taste of tap water is just bad almost as bad as drinking a bottle of cleaning sollution. I guess doing the filtering makes it a little bit better but even there I wonder about.
For instance Britta says that it doesn’t filter out Floride out of our water but what does it fileter? does it filter out the traces of medication that is found in our drinking water?
And what happends when you Britta filter gets old? does it start to put the bad stuff collected in the filter back in to your water?
I guess there are a lot of question to wonder about for now I will keep using my Britta water filter but I am not convinced that it makes our water that much better!
My kitchen tap was dripping and so I called my landlord to get it fixed.
Nothing serious you would think just a case of changing a rubber piece and we are good to go again. That would be what I would do if it was my place but No the repair man just replaced the whole kitchen tab. OK of course I am happy that my problem is fixed BUT the old tap was still OK it just dript a bit.
Why can’t we just be a little bit more recycling things and maybe upgrade other parts that can use it better then this perfectly good tap?
