Like my Alzheimer's patients aren't already a little confused. I love the idea, but because I'm in and out of houses, my car and the office and like to have water on hand at all times I'm going to have to stick with the metal containers for myself. <br />On that note Loblaws sells stainless steal water bottle for under 10$. They have wide mouths so you can clean the insides with less trouble. I bought three and just when I lose one I always seem to find the other one I lost a month ago. I've actually lost and found these water bottles at least ten times, probably because they're under 10$. Someone bought me an expensive one once and it went missing in a week, never to return. But if I ever forget my bottle when I come to yoga I'll be looking for you and your yogurt containers Jamine.Jayna Moarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18375434378276138983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715154140461114214.post-48415564700184183872010-05-28T10:16:44.592-04:002010-05-28T10:16:44.592-04:00The metal water bottles are on sale everywhere the...The metal water bottles are on sale everywhere these days and don't cost anywhere near $30 anymore. You can clean them easily with a baby bottle brush and they're almost indestructible. I love my metal water bottle -- although the water ends up tasting a bit metally after a while. I may need a new one, come to think of it. (For the record, I would NOT drink out of an old plastic yoghurt container or do yoga on any mat other than my own)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715154140461114214.post-56181652393930326542010-05-27T16:32:40.462-04:002010-05-27T16:32:40.462-04:00Jamine - thanks so much for posting this.

We noticed a lot of people purchasing bottled water - sometimes several a day. Why can't all of the studios have a water cooler - I know a lot do. This encourages a "bring your own" attitude. I don't lose things and never leave home without my water bottle - it just makes sense.<br />Om<br />P.S. I too like mason jars, and in a pinch will grab one of those.Jenni Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381065678234487522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715154140461114214.post-19249212097393188412010-05-27T14:18:50.623-04:002010-05-27T14:18:50.623-04:00I drink out of glass at home, too.

The thing with this particular yoga centre is they don't allow glass containers in class because of people being barefoot and concern about cut feet, which has happened there. I know other centres don't mind. So I guess if you glass is permitted, that would be best. <br /><br />Thanks for the tip, Tim, about MEC bottles! I still think for the few minutes cold water is in the container that I've already eaten out of I'm not increasing my risk by much. If I wanted to reduce the plastic consumption altogether that would be a way to go - they sell yogourt in glass and I could just make my own :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06568683609008317597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715154140461114214.post-15403331501173381542010-05-27T13:53:06.848-04:002010-05-27T13:53:06.848-04:00I agree with you about plastic bottles. On top of ...I agree with you about plastic bottles. On top of being environmentally unfriendly, water that comes from bottled water (including the large 19L containers) tends to be quite acidic - based on the testing and research that I've done.<br /><br />I'm not a big fan of drinking out of plastic in general...and the cheapear plastics can't be cleaned as they release toxins when heated. I tend to drink out of glass containers at home...and opt for stainless steel bottles when I'm on the go.<br /><br />p.s. On a side note - if you purchased any Nalgene bottles from MEC that aren't BPA free you can take them back for a store credit - you don't even need a receipt as they have a record of the purchases on file. I brought a bunch back and ended up with $55 in credit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356814803901275525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715154140461114214.post-70144224899842465452010-05-27T13:46:07.384-04:002010-05-27T13:46:07.384-04:00Spegetti Mason jars work really well.
