Plastic Soda Bottles Rescue The Light

November 25, 2013 by Laura

Skylights are a great way to increase your use of natural light in your home. This is important for all sorts of reasons; for example, it reduces energy consumption as you don’t need to use electric lights as much, and it provides some of the health benefits associated with exposure to sunlight.

Bottled Water: How It Costs You And The Environment More Than You Think

June 18, 2013 by Laura

Bottled Water: How It Costs You And The Environment More Than You Think For many years, bottled water has been considered safe and convenient.

It's uneconomical and has been untruthfully marketed as healthier for you than tap water. Although consumers know it is overpriced and proven to be only "treated", around ...[READ MORE]

MIDWAY – A Film By Chris Jordan

Welcome to the water filter lady’s blog! Meet Laura…


I have been in the water filter business since 2006. My goal is to help educate you. Deciding to drink filtered tap water instead of bottled water can have huge benefits for the earth. We can eliminate unnecessary waste going into our landfills and oceans, cut back on the energy it takes to produce and transport the bottles, reduce our exposure to harmful chemicals like BPA, and stop supporting an industry moving to turn water from a common resource into an expensive commodity.
