Staying hydrated is key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, especially as the days grow warmer in the lovely spring season. But did you know that how you drink water can also impact the planet? This post will guide you through some practical, eco-friendly tips for boosting your water intake, while also introducing you to some sustainable products that can make the process more enjoyable and less harmful to our environment.

Start your day with a glass of water

Begin each morning with a glass of water. This simple habit helps to kick start your hydration for the day and it's especially refreshing during the spring when our bodies are adjusting to the warmer weather. For an eco-friendly twist, use a glass or stainless steel cup instead of a disposable one. Not only does this reduce waste, but it also keeps your water free from the possible toxins that can leach from plastic bottles.

Carry a reusable water bottle

Invest in a good-quality reusable water bottle. Eco-friendly materials like stainless steel, glass, or certified safe plastics are ideal choices. Having your own bottle means you can refill it wherever you go, reducing plastic waste and saving money. Make it a daily companion on your walks, trips to the gym, or even at your desk.

Enhance your water

If you find plain water too boring, enhance it naturally without resorting to artificial flavours or sweeteners. Add slices of lemon, lime, cucumber, or a few mint leaves. Using a reusable drinking strawfrom our eco-friendly range not only adds a touch of sustainable elegance to your hydration habits but also makes sipping your flavoured water more enjoyable.

Eat water-rich foods

Incorporate fruits and vegetables with high water content into your diet. Watermelon, strawberries, cucumber, and celery are perfect springtime treats that help you stay hydrated. These foods are not only packed with water but also vitamins and minerals, making them a healthy addition to any meal.

Set a drinking reminder

Set reminders on your phone or computer to take a sip of water. It’s easy to forget to drink water when you're busy, and sometimes we need that little nudge. A gentle reminder can help you make sipping water a regular part of your day.

Use eco-friendly cleaning tools

When it comes to keeping your water bottles and drinking straws clean, opt for eco-friendly cleaning tools. Our sustainable eco bottle brushes are designed to effectively clean without scratching your bottles or straws. Made from materials like FSC® certified beech wood and Tampico bristles, they are not only durable but also biodegradable.

Track your intake

Keeping track of how much water you drink can motivate you to drink more. Use a simple tracking app or even a notepad to log your intake. Seeing your progress can provide a sense of achievement and encourage you to continue your good habits.

Educate yourself and others

Learn about the impact of plastic waste on the environment and share this knowledge with friends and family. By choosing sustainable products and adopting eco-friendly habits, you’re not only improving your health but also contributing to the health of the planet.
