Part of being fashionable, is staying healthy.
In trying to stay healthy, I got in the habit of carrying around a water bottle with me. For convenience, I bought the new eco-shape Poland Spring bottles that are made with less plastic than their other bottles. But after reading Green Chic: Saving the Earth in Style, I realized I could go one step further and use a reusable bottle!
I have a SIGG water bottle in a discontinued polka dot pattern and my daughter uses the SIGG Wild Friends 0.3 Liter Bottle.
Reusable bottles aren’t just for water though. Next time you go to Starbucks, bring your Eco Travel Mug made entirely out of corn, with a bit of oatmeal thrown in for strength. Wow! And their only $20. If you are a frequent coffee drinker, imagine how many cups you’ll save by getting one of these.
I also rinse and reuse my Vitamin Water bottles for water and juice.
So use your tap water (if it’s safe and doesn’t taste like bleach) and use reusable bottles like SIGG or reuse your old water bottles. It’s way easier than recycling all those water bottles after you’re done with them…
