One of the simplest ways to make a positive impact for our planet through our daily actions is to ditch single-use plastic water bottles and coffee cups. According to the Ocean Conservancy, eight million metric tons of plastic ends up in our oceans each year, harming marine life, disrupting entire eco-systems, and negatively affecting human health too.
Unfortunately, "recyclable" coffee cups we get from Starbucks or our local coffee shops are actually very, very difficult to recycle because in order for the "paper cups" to be able to hold liquid, that paper is actually lined with a thin layer of plastic (which potentially may have health impacts as well). Unlike plain paper which can easily compost, these paper cups would take about 20 years to decompose.
So investing in a reusable water bottle or coffee/tea tumbler can be a great way to save money, improve our health, and positively impact our planet! Here are 13 eco-conscious brands that carry stylish and reusable water bottles, coffee tumblers, and tea infusers we love.
