This is a top quality filter that is long lasting and effective. The 10-stage filtration system contains a contaminant-removing filter that lasts three times longer than the common carbon block filter.
The filter also removes nearly every possible contaminant or chemical, so the only thing left in your water is all-natural, good-for-you minerals such as potassium, magnesium, chlorides and fluoride.
The filter sits easily on your counter top and connects directly to your normal tap. One of the great features of this product is that you can flip a switch on the faucet to allow normal water to flow through, so you don't waste your filter as you do dishes. Then just flip back to the filter for pure drinkable water.

Friends of Green Irene,
As summer continues to sizzle, we need to drink plenty of pure, clean water. Read on to find out how you can do this in a way that is friendly to the earth, your pocket, and your body.
Particularly at this time of year, it's important to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. There are hundreds of sunscreens out there, but we can help you understand what you should really look for when you read the label so you can ensure toxic-free sun protection for your family.
Sustainably yours,
PJ and Rosamaria (Co-Founders)

Ditch The Bottle, Get A Filter
Your body is about 60% water, so drinking lots of clean water is
essential for good health, especially in the summer heat. Many people
reach for bottled water because they think it's a healthier alternative
to tap. But in fact, bottled water is less regulated than tap water
and, in many cases, bottled water is simply filtered tap water.
Aquafina and Dasani, two of the best-selling bottled water brands in
America, actually fill their bottles with filtered tap water. Why
should you pay for someone to bottle tap water, when you could do it
for pennies yourself at home?
Green Irene's 10-stage water
filter effectively removes a wide range of water contaminants,
improving taste and water quality. Although the EPA monitors tap water
closely, it is still possible for contaminants to leach off pipes in
your home or office, affecting your water's taste and purity. Our
filter first removes any particles that may be left in the water. In
subsequent stages, it removes free chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides,
bacteria, and other harmful contaminants. The filter also removes many
aesthetic contaminants, leaving you with crisp tasting water. The
technology has been proven very effective in lab tests, yet is still
very affordable.
By
using our water filter, you'll be getting pure water without creating
plastic water bottle waste. The process of making plastic water bottles
sold in the United States alone uses approximately 1.5 million barrels
of oil. That's enough to run 100,000 cars for an entire year. Nearly 80% of water bottles are not recycled, resulting in 38 billion
water bottles clogging landfills each year. Using a water filter not
only makes sense for your wallet and your health, but for the planet's
health as well.

Choose Safe and Effective Sunscreen
Sunscreen is an absolute must-have for summer. But according to an analysis by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), only 16% of sunscreens on the market are both effective and safe. How do you know which ones to choose? Here are a few tips for sunscreen selection:
- Look for zinc dioxide or titanium dioxide under "active ingredients." These minerals are great alternatives to chemicals like oxybenzone.
- Even "all-natural" sunscreens can be loaded with chemicals. Look for sunscreens without preservatives, or products that use safer alternatives like potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate. Avoid parabens like butylparaben and methylparaben.

Green Irene Customer Feedback
"My Green Irene Eco-Consultant, Laura Davenport, was fantastic! She conducted a thorough review of our premises and was very informative about things like 'vampire electricity,' exhaust fans, and light bulbs. She didn't come in just to present her ideas, she listened to our concerns and provided alternatives. She even left products for us to sample! She gave us much to think about regarding specific ways we can save money and the planet. Then, we received a written plan and membership to Ask Green Irene to help us implement her suggestions. She has done all the work for us! We just have to carry out the plan. Thank you, Green Irene!"
