Water makes the world go-round, giving life to even the smallest living beings on our planet. Without it, life simply wouldn’t exist. Living in harmony with the water that surrounds us is essential to keep in mind, whether that means treating our lakes and rivers with respect when enjoying nature or being more mindful of its use at home. Check out these products designed to improve your relationship with good old H20.
Original Ocean Bottle (17 oz)
You may think you’ve seen just about every reusable and sustainable water bottle that the world has to offer. But the Original Ocean Bottle isn’t just sustainable, it actually funds the collection of 1,000 ocean-bound plastic bottles. These 17-ounce water bottles are constructed from BPA-free plastic, silicone, and recycled materials, including stainless steel. Each one is dishwasher safe and capable of maintaining temperatures of both cold and hot drinks for longer than you’d think possible.

Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen by Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen
Let’s face it — sunscreen is a necessity and is even more important when the UV index rises. Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen from Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen provides users with reef-friendly SPF 50+ that includes zinc oxide. By using a mineral sunscreen instead of one containing oxybenzone and octinoxate, you’re helping to save coral reefs from destruction while saving your skin from a sunburn. This sunscreen’s Smart Cap technology changes to a purple hue when it senses dangerous UVA and UVB rays, and its formula’s intentional ingredients were chosen alongside dermatologists and are intended especially for sensitive skin.

LifeStraw Home 7-Cup Water Filter Pitcher
Many people recognize the name LifeStraw through the company’s original straw filters, but the brand’s expansion provides effective filtering technology for more than one drinker at a time. If you’re looking for a large-capacity water filtration device perfect for the fridge, look no further than the LifeStraw Home 7-Cup Water Pitcher Filter. As a BPA-free hydration station, it includes two filters: a carbon filter and a membrane microfilter. When water trickles through the filter, impurities are extracted to create both a better taste and a safer glass of H20. These pitchers are available in seven colors, and a 10-cup option is available, as well.

Nixon Siren Watch
Products made from recycled, reclaimed, and repurposed materials are becoming more and more mainstream. Who knew helping the planet could become (and remain) trendy? The unique identities of these products bring a fresh sense of sustainability into everyday consumerism, and Nixon’s Siren watch is a great example. As a company, Nixon prioritizes the usage of recycled materials, especially ocean plastics. Nixon uses #Tide recycled plastic waste to create the super-durable case material, transforming trash into a digital watch that meets both form and function. It’s available in six color options with a silicone band and a water rating to 100 meters.
