COMMENTS: When it comes to safety these days, stainless steel water bottles seem to be the best bet. They do not leach chemicals, they are difficult to crack or break, and they do not stain easily and are easy to clean.

Though aluminum bottles have been quite popular, they often use a liner, like the SIGG bottle, so that there are no concerns with the aluminum leaching into the liquid. However, the safety of the liners used by SIGG and other manufacturers is still unsure, and until we can be certain, we have stopped carrying the SIGG bottles in favor of these stainless.

Next in line would be the PLA Corn Resin Plastic Water Bottles with Filters that we carry. PLA does not use BPA in its manufacturer, so we don't have to worry about that, and the PLA bottle comes with a resusable carbon filter so that you can fill up while on the go! The only downside with the PLA bottles is that their life expactancy is only about 3 months. However, if you are like me, and always leaving things in odd places (like park benches and random stores), then it might not hurt to invest in something that is meant to eventually be disposable anyway!

Of course, the worst two options would be polycarbonate resuable bottles and disposable PET water bottles. Polycarbonate has now been shown to leach BPA, a synthetic hormone that can mimic estrogen and cause prostate cancer. ANd we all know how harmful disposable water bottles can be for our planet. (Just read our blog post on The Problem with Plastics to learn more.)

Personal Recommendation

NEW! The perfect size for hiking, bike riding, or riding in the car, this juts-over-half-liter stainless steel bottle will travel with you everywhere you go! They don't leach chemicals, they are lightweight and portable, and they eliminate the excesses of bottled water. Bring your own bottle to work, to play, to run your errands- wherever! Comes with a handy carabiner, great for attaching the bottle to a backpack, belt, or whatever is convenient.

There has been so much controversy lately surrounding the safety of water bottles that it's difficult to know what to purchase. Read the Green Screen comments to the left to get a good summary of the latest findings.

We have come to the conclusion that food grade stainless steel is the optimal material for water bottles. There are no contamination concerns with these bottles (since there is no liner, like in SIGG bottles). And of course, they are so much more eco-friendly than plastic bottles that are simply thrown away after use. With all the latest on BPA toxicity in plastics, as well, stainless is appearing to be the choice for concerned consumers.

Please do NOT put this item in the dishwasher! We have heard from customers that after time, if washed in the dishwasher, the colored tint begins to chip. This bottle is designed for light hand-washing only.

Also, we recommend the silver (natural) bottle, because there is no tint on the outside that could potentially chip or scratch over time.

"This product is a great, light-use water bottle, if cared for properly (which means hand-washing). I really like the smaller size, which makes it easy to transport around when full. The carabiner clip is not very heavy-duty, though, so if you intend to clip this bottle onto something regularly, you may have to eventually replace the clip. Overall, I feel that it was a great value for the price. Serious hikers/ people who need a heavy-duty bottle should probably invest in something a little more expensive."
