10 simple ways to help the environment with filtered water

---

3. Separate your rubbish properly

Tonnes of waste that could be recycled ends up as landfill every year… simply because people don’t properly dispose of their rubbish.

Take the time every day to check the label on the package or product before putting it in the bin. It will help reduce landfill waste and give your recyclable products a second life.

5. Use LED lights

LED lights are super energy efficient. They use less electricity and last longer. Reduce your electricity usage and save on your electricity bill. It’s a no brainer!

6. Use reusable bags

Many of us have made the switch to using reusable bags at the major supermarkets. But we shouldn’t stop there. If you are out and about or shopping for other goods, bring along your reusable bags.

Every plastic bag that doesn’t end up in the landfill is helping to keep harmful plastics out of the environment – and preventing potential harm to wildlife, marine life or vegetation.

8. Meat-free Mondays

Animal agricultural and industrial fishing have a detrimental effect on the environment. That’s why eating meat-free meals one day a week can make a world of difference.

Consider whipping up a yummy vegetarian or vegan meal for the family instead. And not to bang on about it, but using filtered water in your cooking is a great way to enhance the flavours of your food.

9. Recycle or reuse your rubbish

Recycling your used bottles can be a great way to give them a second life… as well as earn some extra money on the side. Take your plastics, glass and aluminium to a local recycling station or centre to cash in. Look at the label on the bottle to make sure it’s suitable for recycling.

Or there are plenty of creative ways to reuse plastic bottles. Make a necklace out of plastic bottle tops. Use leftover glass jars in the kitchen by refilling with various condiments or other foods such as rice, pasta or sauces.
