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
