Here’s an easy way to save money that even the Daily Worth folks might just like: stop drinking bottled water. Instead use readily available tap water and a resuable glass water bottle. This one small step might just save you nearly $1,000 a year. How’d we find that number? The team over at New American Dream developed this handy bottled water cost calculator to help you understand just how much money you can save by making the switch.

Go ahead, see how much you can save.

And, after you calculate your savings, start planning what you might do with all that new-found money and let us know. Here’s how we plan to share our savings – by reinvesting into our local communities.

Video: Making a Better Glass Water Bottle

It’s taken nearly two years since Laurel’s first sketch to our final product’s debut coming in 12 short days. As we worked with industrial designers, mold-makers and glass makers, we went through many modfied versions. But our committment at every phase was to creating a bottle that was made with recycled glass, that highlighted the natural beauty of glass and that blended high design with a functional, resuable, responsible bottle. I love this video we made showing our first bottles being made in an early phase. You’ll see the effort to heat the glass, mold the glass and refine it to finish. It’s beautiful, don’t you agree?
