SodaStream: It’s way better than recycling…
I remember the first time I heard of SodaStream, I thought “how cool!”. It wasn’t until recently, when my husband’s love for sparkling water has become a borderline obsession, that I realized how beneficial the SodaStream would be for my family. SodaStream makes carbonated water and soft drinks very simple! Turn tap water into sparkling water in under 30 seconds, with no clean-up. Enjoy the freshness and convenience of homemade soda and protect the environment at the same time. No heavy bottles to carry, store at home or throw away. Fizz to your taste and add the flavor of your choice to make your favorite drink. Simple to clean and reuse.
Yes, I said protect the environment.
SodaStream is an “Active Green” product, meaning that consumers are actively reducing their CO2 footprint every time they make soda or sparkling water at home instead of buying it from the store. The more the system is used on a daily basis, the more CO2 footprint the user actively saves. (This differs from “Passive Green” products, which use green-friendly production processes, but their products are not inherently helping the consumers save on their daily footprint.)
Because SodaStream uses water straight from the tap, the system makes traditional store-bought beverage bottles obsolete. That means less plastic manufactured, less plastic waste is created, and fewer bottled beverages must be transported from manufacturers to distributors to stores to homes.
Globally, 206 billion liters of bottled water were consumed in 2008 (Zenith International Global Bottled Water Report, 2008). The energy required to make water bottles in the US only, is equivalent to 17 million barrels of oil (Container Recycling Institute, 2002).
According to the US Recycling Institute, more than 80% of bottles in the US do not get recycled and end up in landfills. Also, an estimated 4.7 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions were produced in the process of replacing the 134 billion bottles and cans not recycled in 2005.
Using your own home carbonation system means:
– Less packaging waste from cans and bottles.
– Less pollution caused by transport of bottled beverages.
One SodaStream carbonator makes 60 or 110 liters, equivalent to 170 or 310 aluminum cans! When empty, the carbonator is refilled and reused, ready to make more fizzy and tasty soda whenever you want it.
The Best Part About SodaStream Is…
The best part about SodaStream is the All Natural Flavors! My favorite is the Black Currant Pear. Yum. Made from all-natural ingredients, new SodaStream Sparkling Naturals make great-tasting “better for you” sodas. Sparkling Naturals contain no artificial flavors, no artificial colors and no artificial sweeteners, and do not contain any preservatives, making them a perfect, sparkling, natural soda alternative for the entire family. Each 750ml bottle of Sparkling Natural concentrate will make 6 liters (approximately 25 8-oz servings) of all-natural soda.
Each 750ml bottle of Sparkling Natural concentrate will make 6 liters (approximately 25 8-oz servings) of all-natural soda.
If you aren’t a fan of soda or a lot of flavor, you can try the MyWater flavorings for Seltzer or Sparkling Water! MyWater is an unsweetened, all-natural flavor essence for making lightly flavored seltzer or sparkling water. Each 40ml (1.35 fl oz) bottle will make around 20 liters of flavored sparkling water and comes in a purse containing three bottles.
I can’t tell you how much we love SodaStream! That’s why we are partnering with SodaStream to give away a Fountain Jet Soda Lover’s Start-up Kit (approx. $100 retail value.)
The prize includes the Fountain Jet, CO2 makes over 100 liters of soda, 2 reusable carbonating bottles, a sample pack of flavors, and 3 full-sized flavors of the winner’s choice.
This is huge! I would buy one for every person in my family if I could, I can’t say enough great things about this soda maker and I know you will love it just as much.

Yummy! We don’t drink soda in our house but this would be totally different! I’m excited to perhaps introduce a whole new level of “soda” than the sugar packed soda-caffeinated drinks out there. I’ve never heard of this and was skeptical until I read all about it! Amazing and incredible…and I WANT IT! Haha!
I’d try diet green tea berry and even splurge on some cherry cola perhaps! But definitely would HAVE to taste the awesome-sounding ones like apple mango! Mmmmmmm!
I sooooo bwant a soda stream! Bubbhled water is the only think to break my soda addiction…but I hate all the bottles? I would love a Dr Pepper flavor.

I would like to try the Cranberry Raspberry flavor.
I have been wanting one of these for a while now. Just a year ago I was the most un-green person ever. I recycled because it was required where I live. Now I cloth diaper and many other green options. Each step I take toward being green makes me want to take more. I drink soda all the time and I hate the plastic bottles that I waste every time.

I am so addicted to sodas we need this!!!
You know, I’d probably be happy with the lemon-lime or raspberry MyWater flavors… but if I had to pick, I might take the mint too, because I think I’d be able to get my step-daughter to drink more water this way. :-)
Besides, I’m kind of hooked on pouring a little shot of high quality balsamic into a wine glass and topping with unflavored sparkling water. So the kid can have the mint water and I’ll take the rest!
