The waste that plastic bottles create is really evident in other countries, as well. The U.S. does a moderately decent job at recycling, but when I traveled to southern Mexico to see the Mayan Pyramids, there were plastic bottles littered all throughout the roadside ditches, villages, everywhere. It was horrible. But, there again, the water there is not necessarily safe to drink, so what do we do?
--I just use a brita pitcher and fill up my nalgene bottle at home. Saves a little waste, and saves money.
