Long Term Travellers can save money and reduce plastic production & waste

Having rented a room for 1 month, I can now improve the quality of my life.
Refillable water in Zipolite
In Zipolite, 1.5 litres of agua mineral, will cost you 15MXN or more. That's 75 US cents. A 6 litre bottle costs about 25MXN.

It's 30 degrees C in the day, 20 at night. In this heat I can drink 2 bottles a day. That's 1.50USD and 2 empty bottles thrown to the wind. Over 1 month, thats 45 USD and 60 empty plastic bottles a day, just to keep hydrated. Some days I drink 4 litres.

Having secured a room for 1 month, I am now in a position to buy a reusable/refillable 19 litre water bottle. You pay a deposit of 50MXN for the bottle and the actual water is just 16MXN, for 19 freaking litres. 5 or 6 days of water and no bottles thrown to the wind. Win-win all round. For the environment and my pocket.
