Put down that bottle of soda and make a pitcher of lemonade instead! When you buy pre-made beverages at the store, you absorb not only all of the energy, chemicals and industrial food processes used to create that beverage, but also all of the waste associated with the container that the beverage came in. What’s more eco-friendly and better for your wallet (and your health?). Make your own beverages. Iced tea, lemonade, cucumber water. There are dozens of recipes out there for “go-to” beverages that you can make on your own. And, of course, you can always make your own juice as well. Get out there and make it happen. Ditch the pre-made beverages for healthier, cheaper and eco-friendly ones.
