Ever wonder what happens to something after you throw it away? Or how much trash you are accumulating each day? For a lot of us, trash is out of sight, out of mind once the garbage truck takes it away or we throw it into the waste bin when we’re out in public. It’s easy to be desensitized to just how much waste we’re actually producing, because it’s everywhere! For environmental activist Rob Greenfield, this was an important aspect of environmentalism that he wanted to bring light to. And I think it’s safe to say that he did! Continue reading

There are a lot of ways to start living a more sustainable life, from daily habits to purchasing habits and everything in between, there is a lot we can incorporate into our daily lives to prioritize sustainability. One easy and effective way to do that is by making the switch to reusable water bottles from single-use plastic water bottles (and all plastic beverage bottles!). There are many different reusable water bottle options out there, and of course many different processes for producing those bottles. Let’s learn a bit more about one kind of production process called Upcycling, which is helping to reduce landfill waste in more than one way! 
Summer is in full swing, which means hot (and for our team here in Maine…humid) days are here to stay. More time outside in the heat and sun means that more people will be taking their hydration on the go. Drinking water and staying hydrated while outside in the sun are super important when trying to stay cool. We know that more people are reaching for their water bottle right now …but what kind of bottle are they reaching for? Unfortunately, for many it’s still a single-use plastic bottle rather than reusable water bottles. 
We know that sustainability has become a hot topic in recent years, and for good reason. Environmental groups have urged government officials across the globe to prioritize sustainable practices on every level as climate change continues to be one of the biggest threats current and future generations. More and more organizations and individuals have begun to focus on this issue and create programs and initiatives to help solve it. One concrete step towards a more sustainable future has come from Canada, as they publicly schedule a ban on popular single-use plastics to take place over the next few years. This is a huge undertaking and will hopefully result in reduced waste across the country! 
Clean Beach Week is July 1-7! It’s an entire week every year that is dedicated to celebrating our beautiful beaches and highlighting the importance of keeping them clean. Here in Maine (where our team is headquartered) we have some absolutely gorgeous beaches, so this idea hits close to home! Every time I step foot on a beach, I’m reminded just how incredible planet Earth is and how lucky I live where I do. (And glad I am that I use reusable water bottles instead of plastic!) 
There are thousands (probably millions) of water bottle options out there to choose from. Each claiming to be good for the environment, sustainable, recyclable, and more.

Wondering what the best water bottle is that’s made with natural materials? Check out our list below of some of our favorites.

All you have to do is start thinking about commonly used items to realize that plastic is everywhere. Whether its single-use or reusable, plastic has become a pillar of our society.
