For most people consuming individual serving bottled water is very simply an indulgence, and not one without it's share of costs. This year Americans are on pace to spend over $16 billion dollars on name brand single bottles of water, which is more than we spend on MP3 players or going to the movies. We're paying three to four times the cost of gasoline for what is marketed at us as a superior drinking product, when in reality much of the bottled water we purchase is no different than municipal tap water. We move 1 billion of these bottles of water around the country a week in the USA alone, the tip of the iceberg when taking into consideration the environmental costs our indulgences have.

Creating, consuming and disposing of single servings of bottled water have a hugely negative impact on the environment from start to finish. To create the bottle your name brand water will come in takes three times the water that will eventually fill it. Manufacturing the plastic bottles emits massive amounts of greenhouse gasses. Transporting those single bottles across the country uses millions of gallons of fuel across the USA and around the world. After being consumed, approximately 60 million plastic bottles then are disposed of in America alone. Many, if not most, ending up in a landfill near you for decades.

A solution to this problem is to begin using a water delivery service for your home and office. Even switching to larger bottled water coolers - think of the office coolers that we've been chatting around for decades - can have a huge positive impact on the world around us. Dramatically fewer numbers of plastic bottles in landfills, less waste creating each of those single serve bottles, all at an affordable price and delivery schedule that works for you.

Another option a water delivery service like Clearly Colorado offers are bottleless water filtration coolers. These state of the art water purification systems filter the water at the point of use, no waste or hassle of larger bottles. By utilizing this form of water filtration system you can easily enjoy the pure clean taste of bottled water and the convenience by filling your own re-useable water bottles without the ill effects to the world around us. Adding to the convenience is that should you opt to rent your filtration system, the water delivery company then takes care of all maintenance and repairs. Virtually any way you look at it utilizing these services protects both the environment and your wallet.
