Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the elements used in the chemical make up of plastic.
BPA is prone to leach into the food and water contained in plastic containers. Heat accelerates this process.
BPA disrupts hormonal,genetic and physical development.

Purging Plastic: Safe Water Bottles
Bisphenol A
Bisphenol A, commonly abbreviated as BPA, is an organic compound with two phenol functional groups. It is a difunctional building block of several important plastics and plastic additives. With an annual production of 2-3 million metric tonnes, it is an important monomer in the production of polycarbonate.
Suspected of being hazardous to humans since the 1930s, concerns about the use of bisphenol A in consumer products were regularly reported in the news media in 2008 after several governments issued reports questioning its safety, and some retailers removed products made of it from their shelves.

Safe Water Bottle Review
Klean Kanteen features stainless steel water bottles for the whole family. Klean Kanteen has recently come out with a rainbow of new colors for their water bottles. Klean Kanteen specializes in water bottles for toddlers. Klean Kanteen offers sippy cups for your child.
Both SIGG and Klean Kanteen provide a safe alternative to using platic water bottles. Because of their design, dangerous chemicals cannot leach from the container.
Buying a reusable water bottle will also stop the landfill from filling up with plastic. We as an eco-friendly society have to come out with eco-friendly alternatives to plastic and purchase products that are made in the USA, Canada or Europe. This is a step in the right direction for the sake of our health and our environment.

Twenty-First Century Waterfall
Computer animation comparing the US rate of plastic water bottle recycling (approx. 100 bottles/second) to the nonrecycled rate (approx. 845 bottles/second; see image) for 2005. This computer animation was made to raise awareness about bottled water, and its surprisingly poor recycling rates. Since its recent popularization, bottled water (in all its flavors) has become ironically one of the most consumed, yet least recycled beverages. For example, it is estimated that in 2005 alone approximately 30 billion plastic water bottles were purchased in the US, with only about 12% recycled (in part due to out-dated deposit laws), and the remaining 25 billion bottles landfilled, littered or incinerated. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Innovate. Project webpage: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~djames/bottledWater

Plastic Recycling
Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastics and reprocessing the material into useful products, sometimes completely different in form from their original state. For instance, this could mean melting down soft drink bottles then casting them as plastic chairs and tables.
Before recycling, plastics are sorted according to their resin identification code, a method of categorization of polymer types, that was developed by the Society of the Plastics Industry in 1988. Polyethylene terephthalate, commonly referred to as PET, for instance, has a resin code of 1.
