I am made of water, I love water and I drink a lot of water each and every day. Naturally I carry water with me all the time wherever I am. For years I have been relying on plastic bottles of water, which as know now are causing a huge environmental problems all the planet. The cannot be cleaned and re-filled at home since any attempt at pouring hot water to sterilized makes them often loose their shape and apparently make them leach harmful chemicals at the same time. I think that people should start drinking water out of containers that are made of steel of a different type of material that is non-toxic to us and the environment. Not to mention that paying for water is like paying for air! It is a waster of money.
Since I have a reverse osmosis system at home to filter all my tap water (I got it originally for my marine fish tank and started to use the filtered water for drinking at the same time) and I picked up my own 500ml stainless steel re-usable water bottle today. It is easy to clean, re-fill and comes with a clip as well so I can carry it around easily no matter is I am walking or biking with it. Did I mentioned it look funky too? First I switched to fabric re-usable shopping bags and now: no matter waste, no more plastic water bottles for me. Hope more people will follow the idea...
