Oh Snap We Drinking From the Tap

Oh Snap We Drinking From the Tap

Hello Codegreeners! I’m sorry it’s been awhile since I’ve posted but life has been super busy and I didn’t have internet for over a week. So now that I have internet I wanted to talk to you guys about drinking from the tap. I know a lot of people don’t like drinking from the tap because of the taste or fear of chemicals but there is one solution that I believe will solve this problem: buy a water filter. Drinking from the tap is eco-friendly and helps to reduce the amount of plastic water bottles being produced in society (lord knows how many plastic bottles I’ve picked up during my clean ups). So there are a couple different brands but the one I chose is called “Zero Water” and I got the water filter jug that you put in your fridge. I have liked it so far because not only does it hold over 6 cups of water but it comes with a water testing kit where you can test your water to see if the filter needs to be changed or is working. You can also go on the “Zero Water” website at www.zerowater.org and compare your test results with people from other states and areas to see how your water quality compares with others. Let’s put are our waters to the test! If you guys have requests for anything let me know and don’t forget to check out my other media links down below! Let’s live each and every day by CodeGreen!

Eco Toothbrush/Toothpaste: Thrivemarket.com

The other day I realized that I had come to a point in my life where I needed to change some things, and by things I mean my toothbrush.  The brush had begun leaving traces form the brush in my mouth, so I figured it was time to start the search for something  not only new but was eco-friendly and represented the CodeGreen way. I found a website called Thrivemarket.com where you can find many different eco-friendly products from snacks, beauty products, and amazingly enough an eco-friendly toothbrush. The brand I chose is called “preserve” and the handle is made from completely recycled yogurt cups. The company who creates the product focuses on recycling plastic 5 products and turns them into new products that are made and sold in the USA. This toothbrush is dentist recommended and is BPA free. I honestly have absolutely loved it so far and suggest it to anyone! As well, I also found some organic toothpaste to go with my eco-friendly toothbrush on the website. The brand I found is called “Nature’s Gate” and is made with natural mint leaves. The toothpaste is GMO free, Fluoride free, has no artificial sweeteners, cruelty free, and is good for those who are vegan. I’ve loved using it and my teeth feel clean and refreshed. Thrive Market also has other eco-friendly options and products for everyone and I would suggest for all you Codegreeners to check it out!
