Check out a cool new water filter
My friends over at Treehugger.com mentioned something in an article about water yesterday, and here it is. This thing is my new favorite object. It's beautiful, really. It's a water filter that's perfectly designed, sure enough. Yet it's also constructed from inert materials like glass and porcelain.
Bottled water is awful news for a number of motives. It's an high-priced manner to shop for filtered faucet water; hundreds of thousands of barrels of increasingly scarce oil get used to fabricate the bottles; as soon as synthetic, polycarbonates are with us for all time and their disposal is a growing problem; polycarbonates themselves are not inert and their skills to leach into the beverages they create is of precise problem to me. If you would like to examine up on some of the research approximately simply how dynamic supposedly stable polycarbonates are, check out this.
Anyhow, the point of this is to pimp this cool new THING this is the answer to filtering faucet water whilst averting polycarbonate containers. Enter the Aquaovo. As fond as I am of my Brita pitcher and Da29-00020b fridge filter out, it's no longer something I'd omit to affect corporation. Considering that it is made from pseudo-estrogen-leaching polycarbonate I'm not so certain it impresses me anymore either.
