DID YOU KNOW?
Between eight and 12 million tons of plastic are dumped in the world’s seas each year. According to the UN statistics if we don't sort out the plastic problem then there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans and plastic bottles are a big part of that problem. In the UK, over 35 million bottles are consumed each day, with around 16 million of those going unrecycled.
For a very long time I have been sending my family annoying remarks about plastic, they where bombarded, mainly because they bought bottled water, drunk one and threw it in the bin, SO in came my videos, pictures, my moaning and preaching to them of the effects of plastic, BUT moaning and preaching isn't always the answer, so how about a guide?

How to choose your bottle
Your sold right? Great so lets get you shopping for your new handy bottle.
I have tried a few different types and I'm now personally a fan of stainless steel bottles, however I did work with glass for a long time, but being a bit of a clutz I smashed a few (some very cool sloth printed might I add). What ever you choose, BPA free is your best option. I've highlighted here some of my favourites, money can't even be your excuse as there is a bottle for all budgets.
