    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.
