Great tip. The only thing to be careful of is using plastic bottles that are only meant to be used once because of the chemicals leaching out of the plastic into the water. You can tell this by the number on the bottom of the bottle. If it’s a [1] or [2] then it’s a one time use. Those are usually recyclable. Bottles with [5] on the bottom are usually the ones that can be used over and over without leaching.

… and they are paying more than the price of fuel for it. Re-use that bottle until it just can’t make another trip.

Tip: My wife and I freeze a few to take as ‘spares’ so as to have cool water through the day. By the time we are ready for them, they are usually ready to drink.

Thank you! I have coworkers who make fun of me for refilling my water bottles every day. They pay for water out of the soda machine, and they are basically paying to drink the same water I get for free.

Pretty much already doing it. I used to throw a lot of plastic away.

Great idea!
