Edenbee: Buy a reusable water bottle, rather then using plastic ones

Buy a reusable water bottle, rather then using plastic ones

I already re-use water bottles, but buying a reusable one will hopefully mean I use even less bottles, and save money in the long run...

I bought an empty plastic water bottle in a shop called Natasha's Living Food around the corner form my house in Smithfield. It self decomposes after about 100 uses, and costs €5. You can also get one with a filter for €15. The tap water in my house is top, so I aim to never buy a bottle of water in a shop again.

just bought one a few weeks ago in URBAN OUTFITTERS....its great has a clip so you can clip it onto your backpack but I get a lot of jokes from my dear friends asking if I'm carrying VODKA!......very funny guys....!!! they have them in lots of different colours and styles...if you don't like those check out SIGG the hundred year old Swiss maker of supersleek reusable aluminium bottles- www.mysigg.com or visit www.stopglobalwarming.org for limited edition signed and customised bottles by top artists and designers...look for message in a bottle!

I just bought a Sigg bottle from Earth Fare the other day. I absolutely love it and am going to stay as far away from plastic bottles as possible.

I have replaced my plastic sports bottles with stainless steel Klean Kanteens. They have several sizes and also sell a sports drink cap.

I used to buy bulk packs of bottled water, but was dismayed at all the packaging. Then I got a tabletop water cooler for about $50, and I get the reusable 3-gallon jugs--much cheaper, and reusable!

Is there a reason to buy one for the job rather than re-using a 'bottled water' bottle? 4 answers

  Well, at the moment, water bottles last me about a week - they get knocked around in my bag and after a week or so, I find they gt a bit smelly as well ;)
  
  Also: people at work and home throw them out ;)

  The guys at Patagonia make most of their fleece products from recycled plastic bottle in fact it takes 25 plastic bottles to make a fleece. By the way check out their product footprint initiative this is the way all companies should b!

  There are several very good reasons to not re-use plastic water bottles. #1 is that they can leach chemicals from the bottle into your water, esp if they're near sun or heat. Also, you'll inevitably end up buying more one time use plastic bottles than if you invest in one. Plus, it seems a bit silly to pay for water, right? I recommend checking out this site and grabbing a water bottle, I'm not sure about shipping to the UK, but its a great campaign and a great water bottle : )
  
  (I think you can get the water bottle under pledge kit? I'm not terribly sure though)

  Thanks for the link, Christiana! That site looks really interesting.
