So our city flooded and river water got into our water supply so we have to "boil" our water before ingesting it or using it for dishes or anything. So everyone in this town has been drinking bottled water lately. (Sorry environment!) I usually DO NOT condone drinking bottled water on a daily basis. It's such a waste of plastic when there are perfectly good water filters for your tap water. What are your thoughts on bottled water?

Actually, I've found it's helping me drink more water. Cuz I think...oh I had one 16 oz bottle this mornnig nd i've had nothing since. i need to drink 4 more!! (cringe....) even though i totally hate polluting the world with all this plastic it's kinda helping!

    I got a camelbak brand reusable water bottle for my birthday last year and I use the snot out of it! It really helps me drink all the water I need to

    I buy a big bottle every week and then just keep filling it up throughout the work week and I drink tap at home. Buying the big bottle really helps me because I know if I drink one that is 4 cups of water!!

    That is pretty much what I do. I have several large bottles and rotate them over a couple of weeks, so there isn't the waste you would get from a 16 oz bottle one use plan. I have bought a few re-usable water bottles, and have never really liked any of them all that much. I'm pretty happy with my large bottles used for a couple of weeks method, however. I refill them with tap water repeatedly.

    I refill with a Brita pitcher! Tastes better than tap water!
