Fun fact: Smartwater bottles are popular with ultralight backpackers because they’re cheap, lightweight, and durable enough to survive an entire Appalachian Trail thru-hike.
In other words, it’s fucking ridiculous that they’re sold as single-use plastics.

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.
