They sell steel straws at bjs.

Just like we all have to have a bottle of something with us at all times. How many bazillion bottles did that sell. How many are plastic. And why do we have 10 in the cupboard...for a family of 2.

I use an empty water bottle....fill it 3/4 full and freeze it. A perfect all season solution.

LOL! Bought some bottled water at Smiths which was wrapped in plastic and since we didn’t have it “bagged”, the cashier stuck a thank you sticker on the package for not using plastic. Laughing, I asked and was told it was a corporate mandate. Shoulder shrug!?

Ten years ago (I'm not kidding), our babysitter bought a bottle of "spring water." She threw it out when it was empty. I recovered it, rinsed it out, and filled it. I keep it in the refrigerator so that I always have cold water when I want it.

It's not that I give a tinker's damn about Gaia. It's just that I'm cheap.

I’m not a water nut. In fact I don’t like water. Need some lemon or lime or something in it for me to drink it. I buy bottled water for our boat. Our 100 gallon tank sits there too long, even with sweetener in it. I won’t drink it or cook with it. Luckily we have a faucet at our dock box so I fill a gallon jug up from it daily. But guests always request water. At home I keep bottled water for visitors. It seems they always request it. I could live without bottled water easily.
