    I use a reusable water bottle daily and my kids have gotten into the same habit. Of course they are mostly in it for the fun colors, but the impact adds up and the habits formed will likely last!

      I agree that most of us have too many reusable water bottles too - I wonder what this accumulation will do long term?

      A new fun reusable water bottle makes for a great Easter basket gift.
