Today I Bought a Thermos

I've been buying bottles of socially responsible Ethos Water http://www.ethoswater.com from Starbucks
http://www.starbucks.com for at least a year.

After reading this article
http://redeye.chicagotribune.com/red-031108-chemical-main,0,2244086.story in the RedEye yesterday,
my bottled water began tasting of plastic.
Or maybe I just began noticing what was there all along.

Today I decided to replace my disposable plastic bottle with a stainless steel solution:
The classic Thermos Bottle http://www.thermos.com.
I bought the 17.5oz bullet shaped model
http://www.thermos.com/product_catalog.aspx?CatCode=NISS&SubcategoryID=1
at Walgreens http://www.walgreens.com and plan to use it to take my own hot coffee or tea to work.

In addition to being a healthier container, I should also save money by buying less soda.

I'm also thinking about buying a stainless steel water bottle made by Klean Kanteen
