"Give up bottled water and you could potentially save thousands of dollars."

Moreover, you will be helping the environment and reducing your potential intake of toxins.

A USA Today Article Calls Special Attention to the Need to Consider Replacing Products with BPA: Hormone-like chemicals in plastics, pesticides and other products pose "significant concern for public health," possibly causing infertility, cancer and malformations, a medical society announced Wednesday."

From Grist.org:

"The broad issues covering all bottled water certainly apply to your sparkly bevvie. To start with the immediately scary: both the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Environmental Working Group have studied bottled waters and found, among other things, that they are unregulated, are often just packaged tap water (label images to the contrary), and often violate safe drinking water standards and/or contain chemicals used in plastics manufacture. And yes, you are taking someone else’s water, and causing it to be shipped to you at the climate’s expense.

As for the bottles themselves, a tidbit via previous Gristy post indicates that manufacturing a plastic water bottle necessitates using three times as much water as the actual capacity of the bottle. After all these years, can I simply remind us that disposable plastic is not so good, without reiterating why?"


Meg walks into the BuzzFlash office with her Klean Kanteen water bottle every day and this is what she has to say about it: "After going through a whole host of different reusable water bottles over the past few years, I finally found one that is the perfect size, has a minimal carbon footprint and is free of scary chemicals such as bisphenol-A. The metal keeps my water cooler for longer, and is surprisingly light and durable. I never leave home without it!"

A recent (May 2009) study confirms: "A new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers found that participants who drank for a week from polycarbonate bottles -- the popular, hard-plastic drinking bottles and baby bottles -- showed a two-thirds increase in their urine of the chemical bisphenol A (BPA). Exposure to BPA, used in the manufacture of polycarbonate and other plastics, has been shown to interfere with reproductive development in animals and has been linked with cardiovascular disease and diabetes in humans." Concerns about BPA links to cancer have also been raised.

The sport cap delivers a continuous, generous flow -- and has a handy loop that makes it easy to clip your bottle onto a backpack, climbing harness or a work belt, for instance. And of course no toxic plastic in this all steel water bottle with a toxic free cap.

From Klean Kanteen:

We were the first stainless water bottle created in response to reports connecting certain plastics (polycarbonate) and breast cancer. Over the last five years, we’ve travelled to several hundred consumer and trade shows nationwide educating people about the health hazards of reusing plastic, the environmental disaster of one-time-use plastic containers, and about the easy solutions available to avoid plastic (such as re-using a Klean Kanteen). As you know, awareness has skyrocketed in the last few years as has demand for safe alternatives to plastic.

The Klean Kanteen water bottle is made from fully recyclable, 18/8, food-grade stainless steel, is 100% BPA- and toxin-free, and doesn't need to be lined like some other metal bottles.

The large-mouth design makes it easy to pour in ice cubes or a smoothie packed with frozen berries. And cleaning the bottle is as easy as giving it a quick scrub or running it through the dishwasher.

It's also durable enough to last years and will never retain or leach flavors. No matter how many times you refill it, no matter what you put into it, the drinks in your Klean Kanteen will always taste just right."
