I have been carrying the same metal water bottle around with me since 2008. I fill it with water. I don’t buy water or other drinks in plastic bottles. I agree

I have been carrying the same metal water bottle around with me since 2008. I fill it with water. I don’t buy water or other drinks in plastic bottles.
I agree it’s not effective to expect people to do this, but it’s really easy for an individual to do.
- hnick 7y agoI agree, it's common for school children here in Australia to bring their own water bottle, and I've kept up the habit as an adult. When I see people buying water in supermarkets it's mostly immigrants or tourists, based on overhead conversations and personal experience. I think a cultural change and education (like we did for littering, with a pretty great but not perfect outcome) is the better option. I've tried telling my foreign in-laws that the water here is some of the cleanest in the world, but they still buy their 24-pack from supermarket when they visit. Maybe one day we will convince them.
