With the heat of summer, you might find yourself reaching for a water bottle more often. But did you know that some water bottles might not be healthy for you and all disposable ones definitely aren't healthy for the planet. In fact, 200 billion plastic water bottles are used and disposed of each year around the world. Daytime's green expert Kim Button visits with some reusable alternatives.

Stainless Steel
Stainless steel water bottles won't leach any BPA into your water, are easy to clean and convenient to find. The new varieties of insulated stainless steel bottles means you can take a hot or cold beverage anywhere you go.

Glass
You might think there is no way that a glass water bottle could be convenient to carry around every day, but the newest innovations in water bottles have created glass interiors protected by stylish exteriors such as bamboo or neoprene. Glass is the ultimate in keeping liquids safe without any leaching of chemicals and super easy to clean in the dishwasher. www.bamboobottleco.com

Filtering Water Bottles
Many consumers buy bottled water because they think that it is filtered and safer than tap water, but that's not always true. In fact, tap water is regulated for health and safety standards, where bottled water often is not. To get the healthiest water possible, you can filter your own tap water with a bottle that has a filtration system built into the cap, such as www.thewatergeeks.com

Collapsible Bottles
Carrying around a water bottle can be inconvenient when you're done with the water, but want to save the bottle for another use. That's why foldable water bottles, such as http://vapur.us are becoming so popular. Nicknamed the Anti-bottle, these BPA-free plastic bottles can be stored flat or rolled up when empty, stand upright when full, and can be frozen and cleaned in the dishwasher.
