    Over the past week I decided to use a reusable water bottle at all times and do away with buying the plastic ones. It was definitely something that I had to think about, as I usually just grab a bottle of Poland spring when I am in a rush on my to the gym. Instead I had to make sure that I had the time to fill the filter to fill my water bottle before I left. It is definitely something I will continue to do as it is such a simple way to help the environment.
