How Can AquaSafeCorp Product Backpacking Filters Reduce Your Carbon Footprint?

Chances are you buy bottled water as you travel, therefore, these figures may amaze you. It takes around 17 million barrels of oil each year to make 29 billion plastic bottles – and the world consumes far more bottled water than that while only recycling a small percentage of the bottles, meaning more and more raw materials are being used.

It’s estimated with each bottle manufactured, 100 grams of carbon gas is created – and more than 33 million tones are used each year to bottle water. Then add the effect on the environment of transporting billions of cartons of bottled water around the globe.

Should we also get into the pollution caused by discarded bottles, or the unnecessary crowding of our landfills, or the toxic fumes released if the bottles are incinerated?

As an individual, if you consume bottled water regularly, you can reduce your carbon footprint by around 600 kg per year by switching to the pocket-sized AquaSafeStraw (500 liters) water filters, or 1200kg when choosing the AquaSafeStraw+ (1000 liters) or the AquaSafeBottle+ (1000 liters).

Backpacking demands a different way of thinking about your world and how to protect it. AquaSafeCorp products is the ideal backpack filter. It takes up virtually no room, and is cheap, quick and easy to use. Why wait?
