Cutting Water Bottles Out of Our Lives

[Rev. Rye]

I never understood why people seem to need to take water everywhere, have a drink before you leave home! Most people don't live in a desert!

Or it could be because your thirst can get that sensitive.

Personally, on the water bottle question, I usually use this. I don't really use plastic bottles unless it's for a situation like a long trip (like family drives up to Wisconsin) or going to a concert at Ravinia, situations where I'm liable to exhaust the Stanley Steel's supply quickly, and those situations usually happen during the summer, so in such cases, I just freeze the bottles and let them thaw and take a sip when enough of it has thawed, because doing the same thing with the Stanley Steel is really fucking impractical.

Admittedly, I'm not too concerned about the impact on the environment, mostly because I honestly believe that whatever we do, even if we try as hard as humanly possible, we'll always find some way to fuck it up, even if it's just from our habit of increasing the world's population by a billion every twelve years, because that's what always happens when we find a way to save the environment: it turns out there's always something that's going to bone us. As soon as Tesla took off and electric chargers started popping up, I suspected they'd find some way to hurt the environment. And here it is. I guess I'm a fatalist that way.
