Saving the planet, one bottle at a time

When did bringing water bottles to the gym begin to fall out of fashion? Those who don't just use the drinking fountains carry bottled water, or buy it out of a machine. OK, the cost isn't prohibitive -- unless you are giving the vending machines a buck per half liter -- but it does add up. I've been using the same few 750 ml bike bottles at the gym for years now, using filtered water from home. Lets say four bottles a week times fifty weeks, that comes to 150 liters a year. Go back ten years and that adds up to a pretty big pile of plastic.
