Protect Our Oceans: Adventures and Eco-Friendly Travel with Portable Water Filters
Our oceans are the lifeblood of our planet, home to vibrant coral reefs, majestic marine creatures, and mysterious underwater landscapes. They’re under threat from pollution, plastic waste, and overfishing. As eco-conscious travellers, we can make a difference, starting with our hydration habits.
One of the biggest impacts we have when travelling is the amount of waste we produce. It doesn’t matter whether we’re swimming on a deserted beach in Indonesia, wandering the Pyramids in Egypt, or looking out the window of a train in India, trash is everywhere. Even at home, although we don’t see it as much, it’s still a problem. We’re using up resources and discarding them as if it’s nothing.
The Magic of Reusable Water Bottles
The reusable water bottle is our first line of defence. This trusty companion isn’t just for hipsters and hardcore hikers; it’s for anyone who wants to reduce plastic waste and save our oceans. When paired with a Water Purifying system, you have a tidy solution to a global problem.
Lets talk water quality and staying healthy when travelling
Clean water is essential for health and survival. Even though many groundwater and tap water sources are deemed safe, it's risky to drink from unfamiliar sources. A seemingly clean water source might contain harmful bacteria, viruses, protozoa, or other microorganisms invisible to the naked eye. Even tap water can contain contaminants like lead, arsenic, chlorine, pesticides, and particles from malfunctioning wastewater treatments.
Whether you're camping, hiking, or dealing with subpar water quality at home, a water bottle with a built-in filter can be a lifesaver. Boiling water or relying on plastic water bottles may work temporarily, lugging around heavy equipment or consuming water tainted with nano-plastics found in bottled water isn’t ideal.
