Sometimes when I hear others talking about living a 'greener' life, I have visions of people throwing out or recycling everything they own and starting completely from scratch. I honestly think that some folks don't want to live 'greener' lives, because they think that they'll have to make a bunch of big changes all at once. For me, living a 'greener' life means making little changes from the products I use every day to the way I think and act. I feel charged and challenged to live a socially responsible life, to ensure that our planet is a safe and beautiful place for our children and all those who come after them. There are tiny steps we can all take that'll have a big impact on the earth and on our future.

I recently came across Smart Planet, a company who strives provide consumers with the right tools for simple, green living. Smart Planet brings its customers smart appliances and every day products to promote a smart environment and a smart planet. For fifteen years, Smart Planet has been offering smart and eco-friendly products that we use every day. Smart Planet believes that your own home is like your own private planet- so why not make it a smart, safe place to live?

I was asked to review Smart Planet's EcoOasis Foldable Water Bottle. At first, I thought- okay, I guess I could use a reusable water bottle. We don't buy bottled water. We have a filtered water pitcher, and a few reusable water bottles that we just fill up and take with us when we need them. What I didn't expect was how completely cool and practical the EcoOasis Foldable Water Bottle from Smart Planet would be. When it arrived, I read through the packaging- which contained a lot of helpful information about the product. The packaging itself is made from 37% recycled materials, and is 100% recyclable... so as soon as I post this review, the package will go into my recycling bin for mixed paper.

 My new EcoOasis Foldable Water Bottle from Smart Planet...

The EcoOasis Foldable Water Bottle is unique.It's made from a thin, yet durable and completely foldable plastic. It's BPA free, and you can literally take it anywhere! It has a little hole punched through the top of the water pouch, which a carabiner is looped through. You can attach it to pretty much anything you want. It isn't bulky, it's lightweight and super easy to transport. You can take the EcoOasis Foldable Water Bottle to work, take it in the car, take it to school, the gym, etc! The water bottle is even top rack dishwasher safe! Every momma loves things that can easily be cleaned by the dishwasher!

To use the EcoOasis Foldable Water Bottle from Smart Planet, you simply...

-Fill

-Drink

-Fold

-Reuse

How easy is that!? Anyone can use the EcoOasis Foldable Water Bottle! It has a screw-top, for easy filling, and the top also pops up (I call it a squirty top) for drinking. There is a pop top cap that fits right over the squirty-spout, so your liquid is contained! I have loved using the EcoOasis Foldable Water Bottle. I have filled it up and taken it with me on many afternoon walks through the neighborhood, to the park, I take it with me to meetings (and everyone thinks it's super cool!), and someone else in my house loves it, too! Oh, yes- Balian (my 16 month-old son) absolutely loves the EcoOasis Foldable Water Bottle from Smart Planet! He thinks it's tons of fun to drink water from it, and throws little fits when it's empty!  I always have a hard time getting Balian to drink his water from a sippy cup, so I am thrilled that he'll drink it from this water bottle!

Take a look at just how much my sweet little man loves this water bottle...

Balian and the EcoOasis Foldable Water Bottle from Smart Planet are sometimes inseparable. 

I think everyone could benefit from having one of these neat water bottles. We are certainly enjoying ours. These would take up way less room in a lunch box or backpack than a traditional water bottle... and think of how many water bottles you'll save from being thrown in the trash (oh yes- they're recyclable, but many people still just toss them into their garbage can) and piling up in a landfill! Make a simple change in the way you do one thing- and it can have a big impact on the planet! Future generations will thank you!

The EcoOasis Foldable Water Bottle would make a cool gift, too! Stock up on them and give them to all of your friends! Take them when you go camping, on car trips, to the park, on walks, to the gym, stick it in your briefcase ( do people still use those?), etc!

Smart Planet also has a bunch of other cool products that are on my wish list!
