The Secret to Abandoning Bottled Water is Convenience

Twelve months after resolving to give up bottled water I can safely say my days of drinking bottled water are 100% behind me. With a new year’s goal to reduce my consumption down to no more than 12, or one per month, to date I have consumed only 4 disposable bottles of water, 3 of which happened in the first few months getting started. Since March I’ve been able to completely eradicate disposable bottled water from my life. Here’s how:

During this process I’ve had the pleasure of talking to many, many people about their opinions of plastic, the environment, and water… What I’ve discovered is that many people really want to talk about these issues and are eager to find someone to share their thoughts with. One of the most interesting environments is the night club where the bartender has been told to only distribute bottled water presumably as a method of making the house more money. However, time and time again I’ve somehow managed to make it work. The truth is no one can make you pay for water. After all, it’s just water. I’m not breaking any rules by drinking tap. If you are looking to make the switch, my bottle of choice is the Finish military flask purchased from Kiosk. I’m also partial to these new collapsible bottles from Vapur. Both of these bottles address the convenience issues I think are most important! Now get out there are stop drinking bottled water! Next stop for me… no more beverages in disposable plastic containers period. I’m already off to a great start.
