Plastics: What's Really In your Water Bottle


Listen Later

How many times have you reached for a bottle of water without focusing on anything but the cooling sensation as the hydrating liquid trickles down your throat?

Lauren & Amanda are guilty of it too! We received a show idea from an amazing listener and as we dived in, head first, to all the plastics and micro-plastics in the world. We just knew we had to share...

We discuss:

  • The types of plastics and what to be on the lookout for
  • The reasons you may want to think twice before purchasing
  • Sustainable & economical replacements
