Do you know that getting a water cooler can make your office greener? It may sound a bit like science fiction, but it is the truth; investing in an office water cooler instead of drinking hundreds of bottles of bottled water annually means that there are no bottles to end up in landfills across the globe.
If you are eco-conscious then you should really get your water from Living-Water if you live in the Greater London area. Living-Water is committed to caring for the environment and to this end takes all possible steps to minimise its carbon footprint. Living-Water worked with Carbon Digest to cut power consumption and has planted a tree for every water cooler supplied since 2008, and has been a carbon neutral company since 2009.
Bottled water may be popular, but it is not good for the environment and, truth be told, it is no healthier than most tap water either. There are more reasons not to drink bottled water than just because most bottles land up in landfills and the fact that it is expensive though:
-
Manufacturing the bottles for bottled water utilises vast quantities of fossil fuels and water;
-
Bottles are not biodegradable in any meaningful way: they could be in a landfill for a thousand years;
-
Most bottles are not recycled but “downcycled†to where they will leach toxins into the ground and polluting watersheds for millennia;
-
Around 25% of bottled water is sourced from a tap near to you, not some mountain peak in the Alps;
-
Many of the bottled water samples researched contained phthalates, trihalomethanes, mould, microbes, benzene, and even arsenic; and
-
Some of the bottles are not made according to regulation and can contain chemicals which could seep out and which are possible endocrine disruptors.
Living-Water is the preferred water supply company to many companies in London due to the fact that it cares about its customers and about the environment, which it has shown by using only gas powered forklifts and liquid gas vans; sourcing all water coolers in the UK or Europe; planting trees; situating the warehouse as close to the customer-base as possible; and mainly installing mains water coolers which have a small footprint, efficient cooling, energy efficiency, and are cost-effective.
