Bings asked over MSN if I knew about Nalgene bottles containing supposedly harmful BPA substances (I have no idea what that is actually), and turned out that Nalgene now have a line of products which is BPA-free. I don't think my current Nalgene bottle is BPA free, but I really don't care. It's better than using plastic bottles anyway.
Speaking of which, the world should really put an end to the bottled water industry. It doesn't help you one bit to prefer them over tap water, and it just produces a hell lot of waste. Do get rid of the delusion that tap water is not clean enough for us - if you don't get diarrhoea drinking from the tap before, you probably ain't gonna do so at all. Plus, don't bother boiling tapwater too - we're not out in the wilderness, and boiling water doesn't help to remove trace metals dissolved in it, if that's what you claim to be doing. Read more about this issue here too, very good for educators to know.

Hmmm this is old news...
Oh, the 'news' is that now Nalgene actually create a separate webpage with a different range of products to show that it is responding to consumers' demands for PBA-free bottles...interesting...
