You may wonder whether I am serious when I say that I was going to "do something" about my use of bottled water. Well, so far, so good. Over the weekend, I picked up a Thermos Beverage Bottle (No, Muse, not the pink one) for my hydration needs. It is stainless steel with very little plastic in its construction (so no problems recycling it and little oil used in building it) and it keeps cold stuff cold for up to 12 hours. So far, I have been filling it with just cold tap water (plenty cold, due to the near-zero temps surrounding the weekend blizzard) before bed (10 PM), and finding it is still cold when I get up at 6 AM. Not bad! I am adding a few ice cubes today for the work day to see how it does. But between this and my Brita pitcher, I should be able to get clean and clear and cold water without buying any more of the bottled stuff.
(I am now waiting for someone to come along and tell me how horrible Brita pitchers are for the environment.)
