Should you Reuse plastic water bottles?


I used to re-use my plastic water bottles over and over thinking I was helping reduce the landfill problem. Not a bad idea, but then I learned that plastic bottles can leach chemicals, are petroleum based and take 1000's of years to biodegrade, if ever. Most plastic bottles do not even get recycled.

So, that leads to the question of what to drink out of? A few options are glass, stainless steel and aluminum. None of these are perfect but are certainly better choices. We are now carrying a great line of reusable water bottles from Klean Kanteen. They are made from food grade stainless steel (which is 100% recyclable), are dishwasher safe, extremely durable, light weight and non leaching. Best of all your beverage will taste how it should, not like plastic.
