Reminder: Choose To Reuse Your Bottles!
July 1, 2008 
A humorous article in one of my favorite blogs, Gawker, reminded me of the importance of reusable water bottles. You’ve probably heard a lot about this topic before, but its so common for a reason: its important! The booming water bottle industry has wrecked havoc on mother nature. First, the sheer amount of plastic created is a horrendous burden to our land fills. As for water itself, up to seven times the amount the bottle actually holds is wasted in its creation! Finally, when it comes to energy, the manufacturing and shipping of bottles is a huge, unnecessary waste. There’s pretty much nothing ecologically redeemable about those innocent seeming bottles…
Fortunately, you can easily make a big difference: get a reusable bottle! You’ll help save the earth, along with your time and money. My favorite brands are the trusty Nalgene for its cult status among outdoorsy types and the Sigg, for its non-toxic and eco-friendly guarantee. If you’re looking for to get a company or organization involved, try getting them promotional water bottles that they’ll love to use.
