That would work really well for me, especially since I prefer the taste of beverages out of glass. But I worry (scratch that: know definitively) that my kids will break a glass bottle. Definitely check out the bottles at your work. Apparently it's pretty common that companies bottle in #7 plastic. And thank YOU for hosting Thrifty Green Thursday (well, Friday in my case ;-)) @ Rebecca — Funny that you mention that, as that’s exactly what No Impact Man writes about on his blog as well!

You've provided a lot of compelling information and statistics to help others quit cold turkey, too. That's especially interesting about your water service using the unsafe plastic. Sometimes it seems like you can't win. I am going to check the water coolers at my workplace and see if they're #7 plastic. My thrifty green tip for avoiding bottled water AND skipping a Kleen Kanteen purchase is to buy a bottled iced tea or something that comes in a glass container. For about $1.20, you now have a portable glass water bottle. Thanks for joining us for Thrifty Green Thursday! Congratulations for breaking the habit!
