Is extremely informative and interesting, if you are concerned with environment or interested in our water resources and such, I would check it out! Found it on Netflix and reinforces the idea that using a water bottle is the best way to go.

    I really try to avoid buying bottled water. I bring a water bottle with me almost where ever I go. I can't stand paying for the bottle b/c the water certainly doesn't cost that much!

    For whatever reason, I can't seem to find a water bottle I like. I have about a dozen of them ... the straw kind, the flip top, the squeeze, the wide mouth ... the only one I like are the bottles (I don't even use the tops). I prefer the 24 oz overall, but I'm trying to be more "green" and cost effective by drinking water from a bottle.

    Are their stainless steel ones out there?? I'm gonna have to do a google search. I find that I don't like any of the plastic ones b/c I feel the need to wash them in the dishwasher once a week and in a month they get a nasty aftertaste in them.

    Yes, it is convenient in some instances, but I only buy it for long car trips. My trusty green walmart sippy bottle is always by my side. Love the huge size of it too!

    Have you tried the Tervis Tumblers? With a lid and a straw, they're great for cold and hot beverages.

    I have been using S/S bottles from Starbucks from about 3 years but recently discovered Kleen Kanteen. I bought some of their 12 oz. bottles for my boys and LOVE them. The boys are 1 and 2.5 so they are already being tested and seem quite durable. Sigg is another brand I've looked into regarding S/S water bottles - haven't owned one of those yet though.
