metal kanteens
like a lot of people, i drink a ton of water everyday. recently i bought a klen kanteen (see below) and now bring it to work everyday instead of buying plastic bottles of water. for what it’s worth, here’s my perfect storm of why I switched:
1- bottled water takes on average 7 gallons of water to produce 1 liter of bottled water. what a waste.
2-bottled water is usually bottled tap water and no different than tap water. imagine that the Dasani you’re drinking right now was bottled from brooklyn tap water. delicious.
3-plastic leaches. you drink it and it get to have all of those chemicals go into your body.
*let’s not forget that filtered water from your fridge or sink is FREE and doesn’t create a market for waste (plastics industry). I am not a plastics nazi, but clearly in my humble opinion my metal canteen works for me. the bonus is that carrying the canteen around makes me feel like i’m going camping. always a good thing…jim
