Precisely! Get a reusable water bottle (about $1 at Wal-mart) and 
fill it with tap water or filtered water if necessary. It'a much 
cheaper, it's better for the environment, and it reduces our 
dependence on foreign oil as well as our garbage problem.

(I don't remember the figures, but the billions of one-use plastic 
water bottles take a horrendous amount of oil to manufacture. Sure, 
they're recyclable in principle, but many people don't bother so they 
end up in landfills or by the side of the road. And even the recycled 
ones aren't recycled into plastic water bottles.)
