Are you one of those people who buy bottled water every time you need something to drink, or who reuses the plastic bottles you get when you buy water? I'm one of the latter. Did you know that bottled water have more bacterias than tap water here in Norway? It doesn't exceed the legal amount, but if you don't clean the bottles you reuse, then the amount of coliform bactarias can become quite big. On top of that it has been known that some plastic bottles leach chemicals. There is no problem in reusing plastic bottles, but you have to wash them, and you have to buy a new one after a while. To clean plastic bottles is not the easiest thing, and to buy a new plastic bottle each time the other is getting old becomes quite expencive. So why not buy a bottle that you can clean properly, and that you can reuse how many time you want?
The reason I write this is because I recieved this glass bottle in the mail today. It is from Faucet Face, bought from modcloth, and I love it! I have to add that by buying this bottle from Faucet Face you provide around 100 liters of clean water to a family in India (read more here). So, it's not only you who get cleaner water, but other people as well. I know this sounds like a commercial, but while it's not really a commercial for modcloth or Faucet Face, it's more like a commercial for tap water. If you live in a county like Norway, tap water is just as good (if not better) than the bottled water you can buy in the store. It's cheaper, it's healther, it taste nicer, and its better for the environment; The transport of bottled water causes a great amount of CO2, and in many countries the plastic bottles fills up the landfills. On top of that: many bottles find its way into the ocean and can have an impact on the wildelife as well. So, doesn't tap water sound much better? Just remember that you have to clean the glass bottle as well! (it goes easy in the dishwasher)

The water here is absolutely delicious! I have an aluminium bottle I brought with me when I moved that I always fill up whenever I'm leaving the apartment for more than an hour. Your bottle is super cute, it looks a little like an old fashioned milk bottle! I might have to get one when I get a job :)
I totally agree with you on this! I feel bad every time I have to buy bottled water whatever reason..its so unnecessary with the quality tap water we have here.
I'm glad you both agree :)
Thanks for the kind words Pandora! Hope you enjoy your bottle : ) We actually didn't know Modcloth shipped to Norway, was it expensive?
Yes, I adore it :) thank you! I'm not sure how much it ended up costing, since I bought it with some other stuff as well (+ you have to pay customs here in Norway for every package over 200NOK).
