    I buy a bottle of whatever brand water, then use the bottle till it springs a leak. I get anywhere from a month to a yr plus. No water bottle should be single use. The amount of waste we take for granted is just fucking sinful.

      I do the same. Unfortunately, if they are single use, I think the plastic starts to degrade and then you’re getting a bunch of microplastics with your water. But I guess we’re getting a bunch of those anyway so 🤷

      I got a bunch of stainless bottles from the lost and found that gets put out for staff after several months before being donated. I don’t buy plastic water bottles to not give money to the industry but honestly more just to not increase my already high blood plastic.
