For less then $20.00 you can purchase a stainless steel bottle that can be used for water, coffee or tea. Most coffee shops are very willing to fill your personal cup with your choice of beverage. Coffee shops on average go through 500 cups a day, many of which will end up in landfills. For the price of two bottles, one for water and one for coffee or tea, you will save almost 600 cups or bottles out of the landfill in one year. If you were able to convince your co-workers, family, and friends to do the same think of the impact you could have in one year.
There are many types of water bottles, coffee cups and sports bottles on the market today. They come in many colors, sizes and styles. While it may cost a bit more at first, quality should be the number one factor in choosing your bottle. You should choose a BPA free bottle with enough room to hold your favorite sized drink. Remember if you like your water cold to get a bottle with a wide lip to accommodate ice cubes. Replace the juice boxes in your childrens lunch boxes with smaller water bottles too. These small changes will not only be better on your health, but better for our environment as well.
