The Bite:

Optimistic about staying hydrated? You will be with Be Truly You's Urban Affirmation Water Bottle. These chic, clear glass, 25-ounce (hello, multiple bathroom breaks) reusable bottles sport phrases like "celebrate each moment" and "allow peace" (no "more Susan Boyle," unfortch). Made responsibly at a Ministry of Health-certified factory in China (BTY's on the hunt for local manufacturing) and designed here, the bottles fit most car cup holders and are dishwasher safe (just hand wash the lid). And since they're glass (and lead-free), there's no danger of gnarly chems leaching into your water. Sounds good.

Why Care?:

Plastic water bottles require 1.5 million barrels of oil each year to make, and 80% of those bottles end up in the landfill.

We think there's something to the whole What the Bleep Do We Know? theory of positive words influencing our water; we've definitely been cursing at our computer a lot less.

Wanna Try:

Urban Affirmation Water Bottle, available online or at Shakti East, 10245 Main St., Main Place Building, Ste. 104, Bellevue (425-646-9642). Glass bottle, $25.

Cocktail Fact

A study released this year found that optimistic women are 30% less likely to die from coronary heart disease than their pessimistic peers.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Seattle Biters drink water from a reusable bottle instead of a disposable one, in a year we'll conserve enough oil to fill 79 kitchen sinks.

Thanks Ideal Bite for indroducing us to these uplifting, fun water bottles. Plastic is so bad for the environment and so 2000 and late. :-) Let's hydrate and reuse. Be Truly You is truly amazing! I love their products.

Check out the bottles I have designed for your drinking pleasure at www.symblueology.com These beautiful Italian blue glass bottles have Sandblasted Positive symbols and words. The designs are deeply etched, the glass is very thick and durable, and the blue, oh the blue color is magical!! And carrying one of these bottles will teach yourself and others to be absolutely more conscientious, spreading the words of Peace, Love, Gratitude, Blessings, Om and Optimum Vitality! With gratitude to Ideal Bite for posting such powerful commentary on how we should all Kick The Plastic Bottle habit...I share with you this vision and offer my part in this movement!!
