And, of course, I suck. True confession, right here: I find it nearly impossible to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. Why? Because I hate water.

Actually, I love water. I love swimming in it. I love feeling it on my toes at the beach. I love watching a gentle rain douse my balcony. I just don’t care to drink it.

So, I am starting with a negative balance already. But then add to that recent news which puts the benign nature of my nalgene bottle into question and the fact that disposable water bottles, once so cool that you could buy designer carriers for them, are now the new social pariah…What the heck is a dehydrated yet eco-friendly girl to do?

I was so thrilled to find out about Primo water. From Primo:

Primo makes water bottles from plants, not crude oil, like those other water bottle companies — and they’re the only water bottle company in the U.S. that does this. If every weekend warrior, soccer mom and jetsetter traded in their other water bottles for Primo’s better bottled water, Americans would save 1 billion gallons of gas each year. Now that’s a sip in the right direction!

Ok, well that makes water a little more palatable. The only differences I can tell between Primo and other bottled waters is that the bottle itself feels a little more flexible than others, still sturdy. And unlike some other bottles, it doesn’t taste as, well, bottle-y. Plus I cannot wait to counter the next do-gooder ready to chastize me for my water bottle-induced carbon impact – hang on there buddy. My bottle’s made of corn!

Primo water can be found at select Krogers, Ralphs and Food4Less stores nationwide.
