If your water is green, don't drink it. That's my rule of thumb. You certainly can write your own guidelines on what you are willing to ingest.

| Fun water bottles for around the house |
My water bottles are filled from a gallon of "sunshine wine" (post 10-28-11), filtered water that has had a chance to bask in the sun until it's absorbed as much sun sparkle as it can hold. The routine of
Things I get to do today includes refilling these recycled, interesting, glass bottles. To encourage myself to "keep up the fluids," I have several around the house in locations where I settle in for a time or pass by frequently (by the computer, in the kitchen, on the bathroom counter).

| Hinting green, the salt slurry has done its work |
But the big jug had gone green. Nothing serious, it had a delicate film of green algae coating the inside, and the next step would be the water turning green. Last time this happened I enlisted the help of my friend, salt. Salt is fabulous for many tasks that require an abrasive. To clean a big bottle, dump in about 1/4 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of water. Swirl this about in the jug until the gritty salt has scoured off everything on the inside. Rinse. I'm happy to drink the sunshine wine/water from this
clear container now.
