700 years.
That’s how long it takes for one plastic water bottle to decompose in a landfill.
700 years.
In America, we used 50 billion water bottles in one year, according to Bottled Water Facts.
Holy freaking moly.
For years, I used a stainless steel water bottle after ditching the plastic stuff off my shelves. I didn’t really like drinking out of steel bottles but it was better than drinking out of warm plastic while barefoot water skiing on a hot day. Then I discovered Ello Water Bottles. I purchased my first one at Target and immediately fell in love with the product. Water from a glass bottle TASTES like water. It’s not contaminated with BPA like some plastic water bottles.
Because I professed my love so blantantly via social media–sharing pictures of my bottle with everyone I could, the company sent me a whole box of Ello glass bottles last year. It was like Christmas in July–a rainbow of glass bottles. Now I could match my water bottle with my outfit of the day.
I have no apprehensions about taking my Ello bottles on a boat. The silicone covering does a great job of protecting the thick glass even when dropped. I even tested the bottle while barefoot water skiing (thanks to my friend Tom Hart) and the Ello Product survived a 42-mph crash. Plus, it floated.
Because I love these glass water bottles so darn much, the Ello Products company is letting me GIVE AWAY a Zulu water bottle so you can drink with me this summer. Yes, you can pick your color!
