It’s not only a good idea to keep the team hydrated, but from an environmental standpoint it’s a best practice as the reusable water bottles keep down on the plastic throw-away bottles that don’t get recycled as often as one might think.A government study in 2003 found only about 12 percent of water bottles are recycled.
