The recyclable water bottles. I used to even reuse them, but then the whole study that found cancer-causing materials in certain plastic products thing kicked in and now I have to kill the environment a little more.
Must look into a Sigg soon. |

I used to have a very distinctive bright yellow Nalgene bottle (aka my "Pee Bottle"), but when the cap broke off I threw it away. I didn't know I could bring it in somewhere to have it replaced. =(
I then started using a pink Nalgene-like bottle I got from China, but it leaked ALL the time. And my friend kept telling me I was going to get cancer... so now I use those recyclable plastic water bottles. I want an aluminum one, though!!!! |

I feel rather slow for not knowing what a Nalgene bottle is...but I usually drink from recyclable bottles. Yay, excess Flouride.

I'm inclined to think that this plastics cancer scare is bullshit.

^ My friend keeps telling me that it's only one study (she actually sat down and read the whole thing by herself one day), and she also said that the findings were pretty vague and they didn't really test very many bottles, and the ones they did find that had cancer-causing materials were very minute traces anyway. So she's like...f**k it. A lot of f**king things cause cancer, so who cares.

I use the recyclable ones, but I usually refill them from my Brita. I always have water with me.
