I never drink cold water.
First of all it is healthier for stomach (it doesn't like cold). Secondly, there is less chance to get sore throat.


I recycle too, however, I do it only if it doesn't involve changing my personal habits. I am a typical NIMBY. For example, I used to drink bottled water at work, then re-use 0.5L bottle for 3-4 days refilling it with a water from water station (probably the same as tap water). Then chuck it into the standard bin, cannot be bothered to recycle at work. One day I learned that re-used plastic bottles might retain some viruses/micro organisms that are unhealthy. After that I bought a metal flask and refill it instead, cheaper.
However, at home, it is convenient to have a few packs of 8x2L bottles of water for drinking only. For cooking we just use tap water. For tea we use tap water filtered in Brita water filter.
Spoiler:
My wallet and life style are miles ahead of worrying about planet.



Lots of water today because I had to walk a lot. Maybe I will make a cup of tea now. Ceylon?
