New water filters like the MAYU help purify water
Clean water is a human right, a life giving force that should be universally available and commonly owned and managed.
Right now, corporations pump billions of litres of water – water that belongs to everyone – out of underground aquifers each year and sell it back to us at a profit. Even worse, bottled water companies are also responsible for hundreds of millions of virgin plastic water bottles each year.
Bottled water also does not always have the same supervision and standards that tap water has. Often your tap is healthier than the plastic bottles of water you buy. If you don’t like the taste of your tap water, then filter it. Save on money, plastics and green your self daily!

As far back as he can remember Jack Reichert has been interested in the environment. In the second grade, he rallied all of his classmates to donate one recess a week to cleaning up litter from the schoolyard. That was the same year that a city councilman asked him to help with his campaign because of the letter Jack had written asking him to clean up Boston Harbor. Ever since Jack has followed the development of the international green conscience with anticipation and hope that one day we will treat Mother Earth with the respect she deserves and not turn her into another Giving Tree.

Not only that, the “reverse osmosis” systems waste huge amounts of water.
Be careful with the so-called filtration systems. Sometimes they ofte provide fruitful sites for bacterial growth. Much better to get used to the taste.
