In one year, the average American uses 167 plastic water bottles. According to Fast Company*, Americans use a total of 50 billion plastic bottles every year. In fact, Americans spend more than $15 billion on bottled water every year—and most of these bottles never get recycled. As our population and demand on natural resources grow, so does our responsibility to make a positive difference.
Sound daunting? It’s not. By making the switch from bottled water to PŪR® filtered water, you’ll get 400 gallons of clean water a year—which is like making thousands of plastic water bottles disappear.†
Plus, when you make the switch to a PŪR Faucet Filtration System, it’s even better for your wallet. How? On average, PŪR filtered water is 1/10 the cost of bottled water, saving you up to $600 a year.†
PUR recently teamed up with Cindy Crawford for the Thirsty For Change initiative to encourage people to break their plastic bottled water habit by choosing filtered tap water and a reusable bottle instead. In fact, PUR's limited-edition Thirsty For Change reusable bottles sold out completely, which raised enough money to provide 7,000 children in developing countries clean drinking water for six months through the Children's Safe Drinking Water program!** Want to see what you can do to help?

† Reducing up to 3,200 water bottles and saving up to $600 per year based on comparing annual capacity and average price of PŪR Faucet Mount System and three refills based on filter life expectancy to corresponding number and average price of 16 oz. water bottles. For a pitcher and six filters, the average yearly savings is $585 and the number of plastic water bottles replaced is up to 1,920.
** Based on one liter of drinking water provided per penny donated and 1.5-2 liters of water needed per child per day.
