[Part of my series on Non-Disposable Alternatives to Disposable Items]

Happy Earth Day!

Bottled water has gotten a lot of negative attention lately: it costs more than petroleum per ounce, and burns up even more getting to it’s destination! And studies have shown that it isn’t even safer than tap water!

And of course, there’s the matter of the bottles themselves being disposable.

Alternatives to Disposable Water Bottles:
1. Sigg Water Bottles are reusable, easy to clean and stylish.
2. Klean Kanteen, available from Green Home and ReusableBags, are another stainless steel option.
3. If you must use plastic, Nalgene bottles are durable and seem to be the safest plastic bottles. –oops! actually they aren’t safe at all! Check out the BPA-free Water Bottle Showdown at Gardenaut for reviews and suggestions.
4. Fill up your favorite travel coffee mug with water instead of coffee–it’ll keep the water cold as well as it keeps coffee hot!
