If you don't live in a vacuum, you've probably heard that plastics do leach harmful chemicals...so, I looked around for a better alternative to using a ridiculous number of plastic waterbottles - other than Nalgene. The 2 alternatives include Sigg waterbottles and Klean Kanteen waterbottles. Sigg waterbottles look amazing, but they are of aluminum construction (and if you do your reading on aluminum, you'll know why it's harmful as well, and they have a questionable inner plastic coating). That left me with Klean Kanteen...100% stainless steel...although they aren't as "pretty" to look at, they are the better alternative!
Since purchasing my very first one from the US (and paying almost as much as I did for the bottle in shipping and duties), I've seen more and more stores carry Klean Kanteen bottles, AND in different colours! I now officially own a collection of these bottles, one for the gym, one for the house (both 40 oz bottles), and one smaller bottle (just because I wanted a colourful one!).
This is a bisphenol A (BPA) free, durable bottle, made out of stainless steel that is made by a company that is actively working towards lowering their ecological footprint by using earth-conscious practices at their facilities. In addition, in 2008, Klean Kanteen became a member of 1% for the Planet, committing to donation of at least 1% of our annual sales to non-profits working to protect and promote the wellness of this one great Earth. VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!
