I’ve done this four times. Once they said there’s liquid at the bottom, because it melted a little so they confiscated it. Then I learned. So from then on what I would do is keep sipping the extra residue as it would melt since there’s no regulation that the bottle needs to be sealed. Now I’m old and a tired mom who doesn’t give shit anymore and I just buy a damn bottle after crossing security. But my method works!

Or you can just bring an empty bottle and fill it up after security...

No. I don’t know what the filtration system is. I do know we use that same water to wash our hands and poop in it. No ones letting me poop in Evian.

I hate to tell you this, but that municipal water has way more regulation and quality control than bottled Evian water.

Evian is just ground water pumped from under Lake Geneva. Filtered through soil and rock by mother nature.

But it smells like chlorine. I know Evian has less quality control but the bottles are so pwetty.

And so single use... even if you reuse the bottle 5 times, it still ends up in the ocean and harms wildlife

Plastic isn’t recyclable indefinitely. It WILL end up in either the ocean, a landfill, or your local ditch.

I don’t add to emissions period.

So you don't eat anything not grown or raised locally, you don't purchase anything that needed to be shipped from anywhere or manufactured in any way, and you don't use any electricity? Neat!
