Current Giveaway: Berkey Sport Water Bottle



Remember this article that came out a few weeks ago?  "Tallahassee tap water allegedly contains the cancer-causing chemical that made Erin Brockovich famous."

Awesome.

We have a filter on our fridge that I have been using since we moved here...but now that Penelope is here I want a better filter.  Specifically one that filters out EVERYTHING.
I came across this blog post and after reading it start looking into the Royal Berkey Filter  with this additional filter for fluoride.
When I read the Democrat article, I immediately emailed Jeff from Berkey Water Filters to see if could do a giveaway for us and he has generously offered a Sport Water Bottle, Portable Water Filter to one lucky reader!!!
The Sport Berkey Portable Water Purifier Eliminates or Reduces up to 99.9% of:
  • Unpleasant taste and odors, cloudiness, silt, sediment and chlorine.

  • Heavy metals: Aluminum, Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Lead, and Mercury.

    1. I never read that article. And it requires a subscription to read now. :/

      I've been drinking Tally tap water since I was eight. Hmm..

    6. I have been wanting a water filter too! Thanks for this post-- I'm trying to start researching different brands.

      With that said, I want to point out that the EWG (who wrote the "report" about Tallahassee's water), took only 1 sample (a huge no-no in real science) and refuses to divulge where the water came from (which well or body of water) and also refuses to share their sampling or analytical methods (another huge no-no). The City tests for chromium daily (among many other things), and I think it's criminal that the EWG put that report out right before the holidays and scared everyone...if you're going to tell people their water causes cancer, you better be pretty dang sure of what you're saying, am I right?
      (Also, on a side note, the EWG tends to be pretty alarmist, and they have a $6M annual budget, of which their CEO and board take $4M of...so they have a big interest in scaring people into donating to their "research"). Ah. End of rant!
      And thanks for all of your interesting posts-- I have it on my to-do list to make cream cheese and fermented lemonade!

    7. @sk...that is exactly what my husband said when he read the article (he's an environmental engineer and cleans up contaminated groundwater for a living)..but I am glad it came out, bad science or not, I had been waffling about getting a good filter for a long time and it finally lit a fire under my butt.
      Glad to hear you are interested in the food posts, let me know how they turn out!

    9. Ugh. I feel your FL water pain. I grew up in SWFL (near Ft. Myers) and the water there is terrible. When i moved to Nashville for college I was AMAZED at 1) how good the water tasted right from the tap, and 2) how awesome my hair looked without all the icky FL chemicals. We live in the ATL now and the water here isn't perfect, but it's not nearly as gross at FL water. When I visit my folks I always ask my parents to but bottled water for my daughter...I just cannot let her drink tap water there. This is a great giveaway, and we would most definitely put the filter to good use!

    10. My mom bought a berkey water filters, it wasn't one of the portable ones, but it's pretty nice. The water tastes really good, and it seems to do a great job of filtering everything. I'd love to have a travel size filter.
