City. Living. Buys - Reusable Drink Bottles

So Concord in Massachusetts has become the first city to officially ban disposable plastic water bottles in order to help our environment and encourage reduced waste and more sustainable living. This is a huge step in the right direction to reduce the total amount of packaging we are currently using (speakers come in a box, with two separate boxes inside with more packaging inside that). Though if you are like me the idea of choosing permanent water bottle and forking out between $12 - 35 for it, is somewhat intimidating (or at least it is for poor students that want their water bottle to match their outfits like I do). So I made a little collage of some cool water bottles to help you find the perfect one!

Now although none of these water bottles are particularly new to the market, they each have their own unique feature which makes them well worth your consideration. My personal favourite is the Eau Good water bottle (number 1), which has a replaceable charcoal filter and sleek but quirky design features. The only draw back of this bottle is that it recommends a long period of time e.g. overnight to thoroughly filter tap water. The bottle is designed by black+blum and their other stuff (hello pot plant bbq) is definitely worth checking out! The bobble bottles (4) work based on a similar charcoal filter as well and the vapur sports bottle (5) is flexible and thus can fold up when not in use. 

So what do you think? Are you going to make the switch to reusable bottles?
