Leaching is disgusting. I don’t even want to think about how much use my #7 water bottles have gotten.

I just bought a metal bottle at Whole Foods for $10. It's from a Swiss company called Sigg. I know it's wasteful to throw the other ones away & buy something else but I had just found out about leaching and was so disgusted. Heaven only knows how we survived before plastic but hopefully we can find a better way. Great blog, Allie.

It feels so wasteful! It still holds water! I will need to find another use for mine. I know! It feels so wasteful! It still holds water! I will need to find another use for mine.

Think of the energy it'll take to make me a new bottle! I know, I know- it's my health we're talking about.

Maybe that's what's wrong with me. But this bottle has so much history! Every scratch and ding (and they are numerous) has a story! I've customized it with duct tape and a handle/clip-in loop of half-inch webbing! It's so hard to give it up! I read as I sip from my ever-present polycarbonate (#7) Nalgene.
