Try stainless steal

There are so many ways that plastic is beneficial to our society, but drinking and eating off of it is not one of them. Plastic leaches all kinds of nasty chemicals into your beverages, including BPA which is linked to causing developmental problems in children and major health issues, like cancer, in adults. Not to mention the horrible effect disposable plastic water bottles have on our planet. Seriously, whoever came up with the idea to sell cases of bottled water was lazy and stupid.

If you would like to save yourself money, protect your and your family's health, and take care of our planet you should check out Pura Stainless Steal water bottles. They are made from 100% surgical stainless steal, will not leach any harmful chemical and come with a lifetime warranty.

You will never need to purchase another bottle again.

Not all plastic is safe...some are.

Check out snopes..get the facts on plastics.

Some plastics aren't safe but the kind we drink water and soda from are safe. http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/plasticbottles.asp

It's not a sin to be ignorant.....stupid on the other hand just might be....

It only takes a minute to know the facts and sort out all the urban myths.

go with glass

Non reusable, plastic bottles have so many dangers for us and for the environment. Really one of the safest materials that we can carry our drinking fluids in is glass. It is non reactive, I mean why would they use it in chemistry. I think that the company above is on the right track if we really have to use plastic-like bottles, but if you want to try out a great alternative get a reusable glass water bottle from http://livinglavidaverde.net/store.aspx . The water tastes great and the bottle with the unique etch is elegant.
