Plastic is an amazing material and we need to treat it that way. It doesn’t break down in land fill so we need to use each plastic item as much as we can. A stainless steel water bottle may be great but it takes the same amount of energy to produce one stainless steel bottle as it does to create 500 plastic water bottles. So maybe keep using that plastic bottle until you can’t use it any further!
