Hit 500 days of using a reusable water bottle and it felt bigger than I thought

I just passed 500 days since I switched to a steel water bottle. I mostly did it to save money, figured I was dropping $2 a day on plastic bottles at work. After 500 days that's $1,000 I didn't spend. It also means I kept 500 plastic bottles out of the trash. Has anyone else tracked a simple habit change like this and been surprised by the total?

I used to roll my eyes at people bragging about their reusable water bottles, but honestly, seeing the math like that gets me reconsidering my own habits.

Yeah but how much plastic actually ends up in the ocean from the average person's bottles anyway?
