It’s a month since I purchased a plastic water bottle. Frankly, giving them up was harder than going vegan. I bought a set of 6 reusable glass bottles with neoprene sleeves. I have a filter on the fridge. I had a need to be congruent with what I believe we should all be doing.

Corporate greed.
I have two 40 ounce Hydroflasks [hydroflask.com] I love, love, love them. I have two other stainless steel drink glasses, probably 24 ounces or bigger. The Hydroflask goes everywhere with me, and I have two because one went to work with me every day, usually filled with herbal teas. I also have another stainless steel water bottle with company logo of company I former worked for. I have not used a plastic water bottle in 5 years or so. I joke that when the Hydroflask is full, if I need to break through a window I can use that. It is heavy enough and stainless steel. Two of my three kids also have and use Hydroflasks. Granddaughter recognizes and loves to drink from the hydroflask, and it is usually water, my kids learned well from me. I also have stainless steel straws that I use. I try to not use plastic whenever I can.
