Don’t forget what it takes to make a green product:
On the article about water bottles:
That aluminum used for the “best bottle” has to be MINED and processed, please don’t forget about those processes. Also, consider the implications on global markets if these bottles suddenly become popular. Aluminum prices would increase, and quite possibly many jobs would be lost/created. Waht about transportation. Think carefully, although I do like your use of reasoning, before endorsing a product.
