Neither am I. I just try to be conscious about the things I buy. I'd rather buy something a little more expensive that comes in a paper package than buy something similar, cheaper but with lots of plastic wrapped around it. And I recycle. Although now I come to think of it, it did join in a protest when they wanted to destroy a little park in Ghent so they could create more parking spaces

We always get one of these when we are staying in SE Asian areas that require bottled water for both drinking and cooking. MUCH cheaper to use. When a single liter of water costs 10a in the supermarket, a 25 liter bottle delivered to the door only costs 20a-25a, and there is no carrying bottles from the car to the apartment either!

I'm pretty sure I have no room for that on my kitchen counter or anywhere else in my home
The tap is there already and doesn't take up too much space
Besides, you still have to be home when they deliver a bottle, and I'm just not home that often ... And definitely not during business hours.

I like water either ice cold or boiling hot (when I'm having tea).
I haven't found a glass or aluminum bottle yet to use at home. I tried to order a Dopper (the bottle Desertblues has), but they don't deliver to Belgium
but I did find this: the WaterBobble!
I've ordered one from a shop in Belgium, I will pick it up at the store some time next week. I'll use this at the office and on the go. The yellow thingy is the waterfilter, and should last for about 2 months. I'm not sure I'll be able to put water with teisseire in this though
In my cup right now: Turkish Apple tea.
