Do you know of any good safe "green" reusable water bottles?
I've read a little about Sigg and Klean Kanteen. Are these good or are their any better ones?
Forgive my spelling
I recently got disgusted with myself for drinking bottled water....all that petroleum used to make the bottles, trucking them to stores burns fuel. Reusing them is not healthy because plastic breaks down and can leach into the water, which can disrupt human hormonal systems. I recycle, but it’s just not good enough because now landfills are deluged with them. Now the uproar with plastic bottles/Nalgene and leaching BPA's. I want to find a safe alternative.

Do not use any plastic ones. It was on the news the other day that all the Nalgene bottles were being taken off the shelf. Any plastic bottle is potentially problematic, as plastic leaches into the water. The same can go for those metal bottles. Depending on what metal the bottles are made of, the leaching of the metals can be just as bad as plastic. Your best bet is glass. No leaching, completely health safe, environmentally safe, and recyclable!

Buy drinks in glass bottles that you can wash and reuse with tap water. The kind with a screw on top that can be resealed are best. Quite often, fruit juice bottles are good quality glass with resealable metal tops.
Tradewinds Ice Tea bottles are really good for reusing, and they fit in a car cupholder. Get a tap waterfilter and just bottle your own tap water. The glass bottles can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand, and they will be usable for over a year before the cap starts to rust. Then you can recycle the glass and the lid.
Not only will this save you lots of money on bottled water, it will save tons of energy used to bottle and ship the water, and to recycle plastic.

I just bought the Siggs at Wegmans for my kids. I like them because they are not plastic so you don't have to worry about that whole thing.

any glass bottles are the safest ones to use. It's just u have to be very careful with them.

No, but I don;t understand your question. Do you mean brands like "poland spring" and "snapple" ?
