Ultra-minimalist lifestyle

The book I'm reading. I spotted it in a bookstore and loved what I saw - full of simple illustrations and beautiful black and white photographs. But what actually made me buy it was that it had this concise and super informative section about water purifiers directly attached to faucets. I’ve been thinking about getting one but there’s such a plethora of those out there that I was in analysis-paralysis for months. Since we drink a lot of water in my household, I’ve been recycling many plastic bottles and feeling bad about my carbon footprint. Our beautiful Blue Planet deserves to be free of such garbage, so I really want to reduce my consumption of plastic-bottled water. It will also help me keep things simple. In Japan there is an abundance of fresh water that and some of my Japanese friends even claim it’s tasty and is drinkable as it is, straight from the faucet. I’ve seen people here actually drink tap water and never buy bottled mineral water. But I’m going to get myself one of those water purifiers.
