Possibly the world’s most excellent water bottle

Behold: the Water Bobble.

Who among us doesn’t now feel a little tinge of guilt when we are confronted with the prospect of drinking from a disposable water bottle? At the conference I attended a few weeks ago, I went through three in three days, which made me feel awful and basically doubled my total consumption of plastic water bottles for the year thus far. But, there was no water otherwise available, and I was already dehydrated. Another thing that’s annoying is that water bottles don’t go well on planes in carry-on bags anymore, although I am usually able to make it on the plane with a reusable plastic one in the depths of my carry-on. And what about if you do have your own bottle, but the only refill options available are a number of unfamiliar taps? Frankly, I don’t care if your city has “the best water in America” – I’ve heard that from at least three places I’ve lived, and I still prefer filtered, thank you very much.
Enter the Water Bobble. The Bobble is 100% recycled and recyclable (check), BPA and phthalate-free (check), made in the US (check), good-looking (check), and at just under $10, affordable (check… wait, this thing is less than $10? Awesome!). The Bobble has internal filtering device that attaches to the external mouthpiece that provides you with clean filtered water in every drink. And yes, they are available right now!
Treehugger has a nice write-up about this product and also provides a head-to-head comparison of several self-filtering water bottles. I’m not sure which one I’ll go with, but the Water Bobble is looking pretty good to me, both for every day use and a probable addition to my recent earthquake kit project. Here’s to being water-bottle-guilt-free for the rest of the year…
