So, the first question on everyone’s mind seems to be “Why reusable water bottles?” It’s pretty simple: It’s important to all of us. First, let me make a confession.

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m the mom who used to drive around with cases of bottled water in the back of my car so we’d be prepared for swim practice, baseball practice, or just in case someone had a sudden thirst that couldn’t wait ten minutes to be quenched. (Which, I’m ashamed to admit my children have been conditioned to do.)

I was watching a television show this winter that was making a statement about switching to reusable water bottles for environmental reasons.(Okay - I confess it was The Biggest Loser - I love it.)I decided to look into why and what I learned blew me away.

We have chosen not to carry polycarbonate bottles until the controversy over BPA is completely cleared up. Our philosophy is pretty simple: I don’t really care how much BPA is “safe” for human consumption. I prefer my drinks to free of as many chemicals as I can get ‘em! Please check back for more information on BPA and it’s possible effects.

Since we began this project, we’ve also developed a little “issue” with unnecessary plastic usage. We believe that plastic is a wonderful thing that has made our lives better in many ways. We just think that we need to be mindful of how much of an impact it’s having on our natural resources and our environment. “Drink Responsibly” has taken on a whole new meaning!
