So my sister Lynn is an avid water drinker. We bought her a big water jug to keep refilled and in the fridge rather than running the water for a minute to get a cold drink. This works wonders for her sports activities, for the dinner table, and wherever else she needs to quench her thirst. Sometimes she has me squeeze fresh lemons into the water.

My sister, Bridget, is in town visiting from Baltimore. She told me I inspired her to bring her Nalgene bottle with her on her flight. She is super fun! And her laugh is contagious!

As a teenager, my daughter is getting the hang of using and re-using water bottles. This one was a free gift at a local Green Fair!

As a 3rd grade public school teacher in Colorado Springs, we often have discussions about greener choices and reducing our impact on our environment. Re-using waterbottles is one way my classroom has cut down on waste.

I convinced Anthony to use a reusable mug for his water instead of a styrofoam cup. He's converted.

I'm speaking with Kelli about the advantages of a reusable bottle although Kelli assures me she reuses this bottle and recycles it when done. She is actually getting her reusable bottle out of her car as I write this...
