Water, straight from the tap, is the best gift from the Earth. Add some bubbles, fresh fruit or cucumbers, and it becomes down-right decadent. We love our DrinkMate seltzer maker.
- Healthy hydration is paramount.
- Easily control the amount of fizz.
- Reuse CO2 cartridges, through subscription or exchange.
- Budget friendly.
- Fits tidily on the kitchen counter.
Despite media hype against unsweetened seltzer it:
- Doesn’t damage enamel on teeth or weaken bones.
- Doesn’t instigate weight gain.
- Doesn’t add CO2 to the atmosphere.
No waste!:
- No plastic bottles and caps. Landfills are already too full.
- No aluminum cans – mining and manufacturing aluminum consumes inordinate energy, environmental damage, and GHG emissions, never offset by recycling.
- Avoid unnecessary transportation of heavy liquids.
We are among the lucky ones with clean, safe, tasty water from our well. We appreciate and enjoy it every single day.

Our friends Laura & Gil Richardson are, in their own words, “imperfect” but they are much further down this Planetarian path than anyone I know. They are a treasure trove of sustainable living inspiration and we’ve asked them to share one simple swap per week that they’ve made (and the products they love) in hopes it might inspire you to make them, too.
