Since Earth Day has just passed, I think it's important to be conscious of easy ways to protect the environment. Carrying a reusable water bottle will decrease the need to buy cases of bottled water that will only be discarded once finished. Each plastic bottle that's discarded is contributing to the current pollution problem. Carrying a water bottle has multiple benefits. This simple change will help save the planet and allow you to save money. This can also help motivate people to drink more water.

Here are six cool water bottles that will help save the planet*.

1. The Bobble

One Bobble filter bottle is the equivalent of 300 water bottles. This bottle can last forever since you can change the filter.

You can make the Bobble your own. Having a clear bottle leaves the filter, nozzle and cap exposed for all to view. You can mix and match colors of the different parts online before purchasing. Above is an example of one I designed.

2. Detox Timer Bottles by Blogilates

I just ordered a bottle a few months ago and it has motivated me to drink so much water. Besides the amazing fruit diffuser, it looks nice, has a motivational saying, and a drinking schedule on the back.

3. Beat Bottle

This bottle is great for holding your phone and its a music amplifier. Perfect for a day at the beach.

4. Vapur- Anti Bottle

They call this innovative water bottle the "anti bottle". It can fold and fit in your pocket or bag after the water is finished.

5. S'well

This bottle keeps drinks cold for 12 hours and hot for 24. With over 20 designs to choose from, a bottle from s'well is certainly "swell."

6. A water bottle that features your school

If you don't know which bottle you want, get a bottle from your school. You might even still have one from orientation. If not, head over to the school bookstore and get a bottle that shows off your school spirit.

These are just a few suggestions. There are many places that have great water bottles. Starbucks, Walmart, Pink and Amazon, just to name a few. Decrease plastic pollution today by picking a water bottle that you wouldn't want to be seen without.
