You really should avoid reuse of plastic water bottles, due to the fact that they weren't constructed for long time use and might leech out material into the water. Instead, you should use a thermos or other item intended for long term use for your water needs.

How is green living helpful?
Green living is based on the realization that the the earth does not belong to humans; instead we are a part of the world, and have no right to abuse and destroy it. A more conservative view is that humans are meant to have "dominion" over the earth and are meant to be good "stewards"of it, but it leads to the same conclusion. The goal of green living is to decrease our negative impact on the environment by using eco-friendly materials and products. Green living is helpful because it decreases the harm we do to the environment, while making our own lifestyles healthier. An example is plastic bottles vs. reusable bottles (Klean Kanteen, for instance). Plastic water bottles pile up in landfills and do not break down for a long time. They also contain BPA, a chemical which may cause cancer and mutations. By using a stainless steel or BPA-free reusable bottle, we can decrease waste, and make ourselves healthier.
