Share and Voice 12: Water Bottles!

So yesterday I went on a Target shopping binge (yes....I do remember "The Story of Stuff") and ran into a colorful display of aluminum water bottles!! I have always wanted one of these, I am sure you have seen Jayme with these water bottles last semester :)... So I ended up getting one because they were on sale for $10! They are usually 12-15 dollars so I thought it was a great investment for our planet. 

There are a ton of cool things about these water bottles, not only are appealing to the eye with bright colors and designs, but they keep my water cold, I can carry it around with ease, and I don't have to keep using and throwing out plastic water bottles! The company Gaiam makes these water bottles, they make green living, yoga, fitness, and organic products!

So why go aluminum? 

• 86% of plastic water bottles used in the U.S. end up in landfills, taking up 1,000 years to biodegrade.
• Transporting bottled water consumes approximately 1.5 million barrels of fossil fuels per year.
  
• When you use an aluminum bottle, your water remains free of unhealthy plastic residues.
  

So go out and get yourself one!!!
