Using a reusable water bottle is one simple move you can make to be more eco-friendly that makes a big difference.
Instead of splashing out on plastic water bottles every time you need to quench your thirst, opt instead for a one-time purchase. Not only are you making a more sustainable choice that is kind to the planet, but it’s kind to your bank balance too. What’s more, you’ll have lovely chilled water wherever you are. It’s a total win-win.
Available in all shapes and sizes, materials and patterns, there really is a design for everyone. We’ve helped round up some of our favourites below.
Best reusable water bottles at a glance
What to look for when choosing a reusable water bottle?
How much water should we drink per day?
The NHS recommends we drink six to eight glasses of fluids a day. That’s about two litres. Water is essential to keep us healthy for a number of reasons: it hydrates us (dehydration can lead to dizziness, headaches and lethargy); flushes toxins from our organs, regulates body temperature, aids digestion and protects our joints and tissues.
