I was talking to some colleagues about New Year’s resolutions and one said his resolution\u00a0was to try to not use any plastic bags.<\/p>\n

This surprised me in that he\u00a0isn’t the sort of person that you would readily identify as the “tree hugger” type. But then on further reflection I realized it actually made sense because the “plastic issue” seems to have gone pretty mainstream. I myself blogged about it last May in a post,\u00a0“The Scarlett P.”<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve made a few resolutions myself this New Year and, I am happy to say, I am doing pretty well\u00a0at\u00a0keeping.<\/p>\n

Except one.<\/p>\n

The one that’s turning out to be the doozy is to drink less bottled water.<\/p>\n

The problem is that my bottled water reduction goal seems to be in direct conflict with my other resolutions which are to lose weight and get more exercise.<\/p>\n

My cupboard is cluttered with Sigg bottles and other plastic reusable water bottles. Some I’ve purchased, some I’ve gotten as various promos and give aways.<\/p>\n

But none of these environmentally better solutions work for me as well as my bottled water.<\/p>\n

None fit in my purse as well, are as leak proof, fit in the cup holder in the car or on the treadmill.<\/p>\n

I guess I am turning out to be a classic example of someone who says they want to make\u00a0better\u00a0environmental choices, but won’t if it means sacrificing on product quality or experience.<\/p>\n

I feel very\u00a0badly about this every morning as I continue to reach for my convenient (yet evil) bottle of Poland Spring.<\/p>\n

What’s your twist?<\/p>\n

Have you had similar issues keeping “green resolutions”?<\/p>\n
