Staying well-hydrated is especially important during summer, but if you’re traveling you might find yourself having to decide between the lesser of two evils: wasteful, store-bought bottled water or unfamiliar (or even downright nasty!) tap water. Carry your own water bottle with a built-in filter, though, and you can make a healthier choice for yourself and the environment. Here are five bottles worth considering.
