Plastic Containers: “Yay” or “Nay”?

I’m not a fan of plastic bottles.  I use them.  But I try not to.

They are convenient because I can carry a little water with me when I go places…beats the collection of glassware I used to have rolling around in my Opal in college.

I just have a problem with the amount of plastic we’re using…particularly water bottes.  It’s great we can recycle them.  But how often are you somewhere that you don’t have the option to recycle?  I try to tuck my empties somewhere so I can recycle or reuse them at home.

Which brings up another quesiton: Is reusing it a good thing?  The debate rolls on about the harmfulness of plastic containers.  Here are a articles I found (please let us know about any you know about by commenting on this post).
