    I’d love to win this, because I don’t filter my water right now, and probably should.

    I would really love to one of these sets. I have read up on it recently
    and nice comments. I do not have one at the present time. Really, really,
    need it.

  • Shannon

    With San Jose CA’s poor water quality and recent revelations about dangerous chemical levels in municipal water, I’d love to be able to filter my water (especially since it’s essentially the only thing I drink!). I don’t want to contribute to the bottled water industry’s environmental harm and plastic mega footprint, and Brita would be a fantastic solution for myself and my family!

    I have been using a Brita water jug since moving to where I live, last May. The tap water here is disgusting (from three different sources, so it’s not just my place). I try to limit my plastic consumption as best I can (note to the peanut gallery, soda straws are plastic too) and even when I do have to resort to bottled water, I hang on to it and refill at home.

    If it helps my chances any, I’ll teach you a good, poor-mans water quality test. Boil some water and make some tea in a clear glass and let sit. Anything that collects on the side of the glass, it ain’t water. That’s how I found out about my local tap water. The stuff that piled up around the glass coffee cup I use was absolutely alarming.

    I would love to win this prizepack! I have a family of 5, and we go through the tapwater like NObody’s business! Active soccer players, runners, and well, a four year old. We never have enough water on hand ready in the fridge (reuseable bottles only) A proper Brita filter pitcher would be the BOMB to keep ice cold in the fridge. Keep up the good work!

    Id love to win this because Iv always wanted this filter but never been able too financially. Living in town, our water is okay but to be honest, just tastes funny! And going to the local grocery store to refill water jugs isnt so fun after awhile! ;)

    Aww, I saw something like this at Target. I want it because FILTERED WATER TASTES BETTER. YAAAAAAY.

  • Jess

    What an amazing giveaway! I’d love to win this product because I get super dehydrated when I’m at work. I need a great water bottle and I truly believe that the FilterForGood Nalgene will make my day fly by! I would love to strike up conversations with my coworkers about FilterForGood and let them drool over my green water bottle. I’d give the other water bottle to my older sister because at her work, the water they have is not the best. She always ends up going to the fridge and grabbing an apple juice or a lemonade. I want her to drink more water and if she had a Nalgene, it would be a fantastic way for her to stay hydrated and it would keep her more alert while at work! The pitcher would be perfect for my family and I would feel awesome knowing that we’re drinking clean, crisp water.

  • Jess

  • PatricK

    I would use the Nalgene bottles everyday.

  • Andrea

    I would love to win this so we could have fresh tasting water without buying & wasting Water in bottles.

  • Salima

    I would love to win this besause I hate to waste plastic bottles, but my kids will not drink regular tap water and everytime we are out and about, we always run out of water in the resuable bottle that we tote along and end up buying bottled water. This way we can replenish our own bottle with tap water. Yayyy!!!

    I would love to win a pack! I live in an old (and I mean old) apartment building, and I don’t even want to fathom how old the pipes are. I know I’m not getting the quality water my body craves and deserves, so it would be really great to have a pitcher at home to filter our water! Our office has a water delivery service and a cooler, so I’m set at work, but I’d love to be able to stay just as hydrated and eco-friendly at home as well. Also, with 2 Nalgenes, I can keep one at the office and one in my run bag (I have an xl water bottle I’ve been filling up at work and bringing home. I can finally just leave that big one at home and fill it with my awesome new pitcher!)

    I would love to win the Brita FilterForGood Giveaway because I have heard nothing but rave reviews from my friends who have them. I use reusable water containers, but don’t filter my water because I forget about it. But this would be a great reason to start doing something a bit healthier.

  • Kelly

    I would love to win this because it just such a great, common-sense idea and because the water that comes out of our tap smells of chlorine. I hate to think what else is in there. Yuck!

  • Kelly

    Hi, I just signed up for the weekly newsletter. Thank you!

    I use a Brita filter at my home and fill up my Nalgene bottle everyday before work, however when I am done at work I have to fill it back up with tap and the aftertaste is not very pleasant. I have encouraged my co-workers to stop drinking soda and drink water and they have, they do not have Brita filters and insist on drinking bottled water, I really cringe when I see them drink four bottles and just not care about how many bottles they use in a week. So on my mission to make little life changes I would love to win so we can all have a Nalgene bottle and reduce the plastic that is being wasted in our office. I refuse to drink bottled water! I work for a municipality and the Police Officers really need something that they can have in their cars with them and be able to reuse and fill up anytime and not be wasteful and set an example for our town!

    I’d love to win this product because I’m very concerned, living in the Midwest, about the chemical runoff from animal agriculture getting into the drinking water.

  • MelissaG

    I’m already signed up for “The Dirt.” Love it :)

  • Suzanne

    Those Nalgene bottles would be great for on-the-go activities. I feel guilty using store-bought water bottles, but will take one in a hurry. I’d love to get rid of them for good. :)

  • Alexis

    Oh, I’d love one of those Brita filter systems for home. I usually just drink filtered water at work and then soy milk, juice, etc when I’m home.
    Thanks for the chance!

  • Andrea

    The water at our house can be iffy at times. I mean, it’s not like I’m gonna die from it (we need to count our blessings that we can get as much water as we need from simply turning on a tap) but it’s certainly not the best at times, whether there are chemically smells or little things floating in in or whatever. I just think the Brita sounds great and would love to win one. I would use it all the time. :)

    I’d love to win because being “green” is an important part of being a human on this planet!

  • http://scraphappenswithangie.blogspot.com Angie Liddiard

    I would love to win! I was actually looking at the filters and water bottles two days ago. Currently not filtering my water. Buying bottled water – eek! Hope to win! I really need this!

    I like to win because I’m trying to break my daughter of plastic bottles. Figure the way to do this is provide filtered water and a bottle for it. Thanks.

  • Karl

    Britta is always a trusted name in water filtration and I’d love to have these items for my family. Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Conrad Kovash

    Would love to win this as the water here is filled with so much junk that it is affecting my coffee. Brita has always had such commitment to water quality. I used to live on a farm and our water had so much iron in it that we had our own distiller and had to get used to drinking distilled water. Took some getting used too.

  • Grace

    I would love to win this awesome prize because I want to spread the important message of giving up bottled water. I want the world to know that they should use reusable bottles like Brita’s FilterForGood, for it is the smarter and healthier choice!

  • Grace

  • Desiree Snyder

    I would like to win these gifts from Brita, because I’m trying to educate my peers in high school to not only appreciate the beauty of the environment, but to respect it too. I often do research papers and projects, explaining ways and methods to help im prove life for others besides ourselves. I hope that by using a Brita waterbottle in school, I can show people just exactly what it does, and explain the benefits of how it is reusable and healthier overall. Thank you.

  • http://facebook Elaine

    Brita is the only water filter for me! I really appreciate your products and without them, I would not be able to filter my water in my home! The dollar savings alone makes you love you even more…..if that is possible!
    I already received the Dirt newsletter, love your updates!

  • http://www.diysara.com Sara A

    I try very hard to use only tap water but some days the taste is quite unpleasant. I’d love to get a filter system so I can help the planet and enjoy it too :)

    Thank you for the chance.

  • sandy j
