Do you ever wonder what the cost of going green actually is? It's honestly not as expensive as you may think and in the end, you might even save some money.*
Each year (average) one person uses about 166 disposable plastic water bottles.
So, let's say each of those bottles cost about $1.50. Let's do the math:
166 x $1.50 = $249.00 on bottled water each year!
I suppose that might not seem like a lot of money, especially since it's spread over a years time but...
lets see what it would cost you if you had a filter.
Brita Slim Pitcher
$13.99
10 replacement filters
(each lasts approx. 2-3 months) $42.50
Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottle
18oz. w/ sports cap $14.95
Once again, let's do the math:
$13.99 + $42.50 + $14.95 = $71.44 on your filtered water in a reusable bottle in a year!
That is an approximate savings of:
$249.00 - $72.59 = $176.41!
So making the switch might be worth it.
