Posted by Dan Barry on
Kick your water bottle habit The beginning of a new year is notorious for resolutions and big hopes for improving ourselves. Goals to eat healthier, exercise more and stick to a budget abound. And while that's all well and good, a new you can start right now (without counting calories). We could all drink more water, but for many, drinking water means disposable plastic bottles.
