I am always grabbing a water bottle as I run out of the house to run my errands. I use to waste so many plastic water bottles and came to realize I am causing a huge waste. Because I drink so many bottles in a week, I needed to find a way to reduce the waste of water bottles. I have recently found the Bean Canteen. It is the green friendly alternative to water bottles.

It is made of stainless steel so your water never has an after taste and always tastes refreshing. I have also found it cools quicker in the refrigerator. This can be used with juice and other cold drinks. Unlike plastic bottles, this canteen will not retain any flavors or odors from different drinks. The thing I like the best is that it fits in my car cup holders. It is dishwasher safe and comes in many different sizes and colors. This is a great alternative to the plastic water bottles.
