So today is the first day we actually take a step in reducing our (my) plastic consumption with regards to water.

As i wrote in my previous post, to reduce and completely eliminate my plastic consumption with water, i planned on switching to a regular water home-delivery service that would result in zero plastic waste on my end.

I did my research and with the help of a mobile application, i learned of the water companies that offer these delivery services in my city Kayseri. Quite effective, the app even lets you create a subscription to a company so that every time you order, you don’t have to resend necessary information like your address or phone number- this makes orders with the app significantly easier. As a bonus feature, the app also gives information of the pH value of the water provided by all the different companies for you to compare, and of course i went with the one with the best or healthiest pH value.

Apparently the company behind the app is working UNICEF to donate clean water enough for 5 children for one day with every order you make with their app. The app is called BiSU by the way. If you’re reading this and you’re in Turkey and you’re interested in switching to a water plan that contributes less to your overall plastic footprint, then i suggest using the app. And like myself, you too can help be a part of giving clean water to children in need all around the world.

Together, we can make a difference.
