Neither. I don't buy water in little plastic bottles which is a far better option. I filter tap water and carry it in reusable containers when necessary.

It is very rare that I ever buy bottled water - even if you re-use them many times over before you eventually chuck them in the recyling, the damage is still done. I fill up a sports bottle instead.

I reuse them because if they are handy, cute or fit in a vehicle's cup holder.

I do the best possible thing for the earth... I never buy those bottles of water in the first place. What's the need, water is practically free.

Hi ! Thanks for asking this question, I appreciate this topic. I have begun to reuse my OWN bottles, cans, cups, containers, and decorating them for new uses when empty. It saves the energy to recycle it at a plant, and I get a new container!

it saves money too. I hate paying for "water" when I have it at home and the reusable tubberware idea sounds like a money saver as well. :) thanks ++++

Yeah, now that you're thinking about it, you'll start noticing all kinds of cute shaped containers that can be "refurbished". I'm pretty obsessed with it. I might get a scary bacteria disease, but it saved some energy, and it was for a great cause!
