[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 732427, member: 1963"] Bottled water. I use Brita hard sided water bottles with replaceable filters...except when I forget to bring one and wind up buying bottled water. I then guilt trip the heck out of myself for days. I do occasionally use paper plates, and I do line baking sheets with foil to avoid cleanups. Our tap water here is out of Lake Michigan and is fairly drinkable if you can handle chlorine. Up North it was well water (municipal deep bores) and nasty. I got in the habit of drinking filtered water up there. Of course, the Milwaukee water system also had the cryptosporidum outbreak in 1993 that caused sickened a lot of people and killed over a hundred. They've since moved the "cribs" (intakes) out into deeper water, and made some changes to our purification processes, but additional filtering is still a good idea. Oh....please don't buy Nestle...they are all but stealing millions of gallons of Lake Michigan water now, which they are purifying and selling under various names as bottled water...Michigan has authorized this while Flint still hasn't got clean water to drink.
