I like to think that the plastic which goes to recycling doesn't go into landfills. Am I naive

A lot of the composite decking material such as Trex is also made from plastic bottles.

But I drink the tap water here and it's fine. My wife insists that we keep out 5 gallon dispenser bottle full. We get it from the machine at Publix. I'm well aware that it's just filtered tap water, but it's cheap and it makes her happy. The good thing about it is that we can get ice cold or boiling hot water instantly from the dispenser. Still, I hardly ever use it.

Tap water is fine. It also has all of those minerals and impurities which help build your immune system.
