Now, I know that Jennie mentioned that she loves her Nalgene in a previous post. Pretty much everyone in all of boulder owns a Nalgene. We own two in fact. I barely ever use mine because I don't drink enough water but they are really nice for hikes and things. Well, come to find out that the company that makes Nalgene called (Nalge Nunc) makes the plastic containers used to restrain animals for animal testing. urlLink nalgene.jpeg In fact, they are the number one maker of these such products. Its really shocking!!
I will never use a Nalgene again!! Completely disgusting. BUT, the good news is that there are lots of other manufacturers of water bottles that are made of the same exact plastic material that makes the Nalgene bottles so nice. They gave me a flier with a website www.boycottnalgene.com but the site doesn't exist yet. The Rocky Mountain Animal Defense people sell alternative Nalgene like bottles on their site.
So, if you want to have a cruelty free bottle, click on the Store button after reading the article on their site. (its one of the links below) urlLink Here are two short urlLink articles about Nalgene. Even if you don't use one, it's sort of eye opening. I can't imagine how many of the other products I use on a daily basis are made by companies lacking similar morals. Lets get a count, who has a Nalgene?
