I don\u2019t know about you, but as a kid and young adult, I grew up with soda (or pop, if you call it that!) as a beverage staple in our household. We didn\u2019t drink it all the time, but it was there and drank it weekly. I still love drinking a bubbly carbonated ginger ale and truthfully, I have nothing against drinking what tastes good and that you love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, during our sustainable living journey, I realized how much myself and my husband were contributing to the plastic waste stream. We drank a 2 liter bottle of ginger ale almost weekly along with a plastic jug of iced tea<\/a>. So we came up with a plan to carbonate and make our own homemade soda as a more eco-friendly option! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, we\u2019ll cover how we do it and the equipment needed!<\/p>\n\n\n
