Mid summer and the “Back to School” ads are flourishing. As you make plans for yourself and family to gather up supplies for returning to school, consider giving yourself or your children a gift of going a little more green. Investing in an aluminum beverage bottle is a great way to stamp out waste production, to set an example of environmental care, and to save a little money.

We are moving into an age where every little bit counts. By using an aluminum bottle, you can greatly reduce your consumption of plastic containers (water, juice, and other beverages). You can purchase your beverages in bulk which typically provides you with costs savings. You also avoid chemical contamination that appears to be increasingly more common with plastic containers.

Note that these containers are not suitable for hot beverages as there is only one main layer of metal which means the exterior of the container will become very hot and dangerous to the touch.

There are many online and offline venues where you can purchase these aluminum containers. Shop around for some great deals, but keep in mind that the more local the manufacturer, the more eco-friendly your purchase is. Also research all the materials used in making this bottle - Is their any undesirable chemical lining? The lids are often plastic - Is this plastic of high quality and resistant to breaking down after being washed or left in the sun? If the price is too good to be true, then question the quality of the product.

A small investment of $15-20 can easily be returned through smart bulk shopping and the investment also comes back to you in the form of health and environmental dividends. Enjoy looking for your aluminum beverage container and build on the concept of smart sustainability.
