Here's a thought: recycle water bottles . .

I try not to buy bottled water to drink but sometimes must.  Those bottles go into recycling and that's all fine.  But I've discovered SoBe drinks = low/no cal flavored water drinks which I do enjoy - but the best prize of all is the bottle.  It's a solid, hard sided water bottle and after finishing the SoBe drink, I just keep filling it up, putting it in the fridge and drinking from them through the day - these are great bottles and can be used over and over, cutting down on the plethora of plastic with which we live.
