They are both big water drinkers and would carry these around and refill them. They replaced them with stainless jugs! On another note, I have a complaint: why is it so hard to be good? As in green good? Why do organic products and environmental goods always have to cost so much more? Case in Point: Today I got a catalogue on all natural clothing, with some nice things all right--until I looked at their price tags! I don't invest a ton in clothing these days, but will pay more for quality in something I'm going to wear to death--but these duds had me cringing! $500 coats, $160 pants, $120 for a sweatshirt!!! The cheapest thing was a white cotton tee, organic to be sure, at $28. SHEESH! We had our middle son and his 5-yrs-post-breast cancer wife dump all of their plastic water jugs.
