Not too long ago I wrote an entry about our Sigg Water Bottles we have at Voyageur and on our online Trading Post.  This recent post from Idealbite.com just enforces the need to purchase a Sigg bottle today! 

Is an unsafe bottle repressing your thirst?

The Bite
Time for some bottle therapy. It used to be practically a requirement for the eco-conscious urbanite to lug water in reusable hard-plastic bottles, but it turns out those bottles can leach toxins. Choose lined aluminum, stainless steel, or glass instead.

The Benefits

  • Health-consciousness. Polycarbonate plastic used in bottles by Nalgene and other companies leaches bisphenol-A, which is linked to birth defects, miscarriage, and prostate cancer.
  • Less waste. Plastic water bottles require 1.5 million barrels of oil each year to make.
  • Hydration. Experts recommend we drink six to seven glasses of H2O per day, so keep a bottle handy.
  • Hipster appeal. Metal and glass options now come in supercool colors and designs.
