You’ve seen the research: disposable plastic bottles are destroying the planet, taking up precious space in our landfills, and getting dolphins addicted to methamphetamines.

Miu Color 22 ounce ($29)

We dig the 22-ounce glass bottle, but the real appeal is the tea and fruit infuser (tea and fruit not included) that gives your water some pizzazz.
