“Ha HA! I was drinking COLD water, THANK YOU! I was testing out some stainless steel water bottles from New Wave Enviro.  Now, I know that “keeping the water colder” isn’t a trait that the company posts or claims on their website. But, from personal experience? It DID.”-Just Another Review Blog

While you’re out celebrating your country’s freedom and independence, support its sustainability as well by being eco-friendly.  It’s not unusual that one’s festivities on this national holiday are detrimental to the earth, whether it be the carbon emitted from grilling steaks or the litter we produce from using plastic plates, cups, and silverware.

I’m not trying to rain on your patriotic parade, but rather to offer some friendly advice on how to celebrate green.  Such techniques include avoiding plastics, which you can achieve by using New Wave’s EASTAR resin drinking water bottle to quench your thirst and packing your picnic food in New Wave’s 100% Bamboo lunch bag and stainless steel food containers.

Other tips include….

-Lightening up your fireworks

-Going green with grilling

-Including organic foods and sustainable vegetable-based items in your 4th of July Menu

A recent study performed by Dr. Frederick vom Staal of the Endocrine Society showed that human exposure to BPA is likely much higher than previously thought, and much higher than deemed safe by the FDA.  The findings were so significant that the Society issued a BPA intake warning at its annual meeting earlier this month.

Human and animal studies have linked BPA to numerous health problems, including heart disease, liver failure, prostate and breast cancers, and reproductive abnormalities.

Staal went on to stress the importance of limiting ones exposure to the chemical, which means finding any means necessary to avoid products made of plastic.

A mother’s review of New Wave’s 20 ounce tinted Stainless Steel bottles!

http://www.momicillin.com/2009/06/17/new-wave-enviro-water-bottles/

If I were a father, my first choice for a gift would be anything made by New Wave Enviro Products.  I would use it immediately.  For example, if I were given a stainless steel drinking water bottle, I would make it my companion on a day-long hiking trip, which I would enjoy with my kids of course!

The city of Crestood, IL is in hot water with the state government.  A civil lawsuit has been filed, accusing the town of knowingly serving tainted water for more than 20 years, all while lying to both the EPA and its own residents about the quality of the water.

Rather than lie awake at night worrying about the quality of your water and the absence of transparency in your local government, be proactive!  Take steps to ensure that you and your family are drinking filtered, fresh water regularly.  This starts by purchasing a water filter. 

Phthalates are industrial chemicals that are added to plastic to enhance flexibility and durability.  Phthalates are employed in numerous consumer products, from medical devices to children’s toys, including water bottles.  However, exposure to these chemicals has proven to be very harmful to humans.  Such health problems that arise from exposure include bone cell death, damage to kidney and lungs, and damage to reproductive systems. 

 U.S. government agencies are very aware of these dangers, yet phthalates aren’t being phased out of production lines fast enough.  With exposure to this toxic compound being an every day occurrence, your health is jeopardized. Consumers must be aware of which products contain phthalates. 

 I can at least put some of your worries at bay.  New Wave Enviro Products drinking water bottles are phthalate-free, because they aren’t made of plastic, but of either EASTAR resin or stainless steel.  EASTAR resin is distinguishable from plastic because it’s a glass like material.  Additionally, EASTAR resin bottles are eco-friendly and contain no BPA or phthalates.

 So before you waste energy trying to figure out which drinking water bottles don’t contain toxic compounds such as phthalates, make your life easier by choosing New Wave.

Taking a shower is an essential part of my morning routine.  It is also an essential way to manage my health, because I have found that you can actually increase your health and beauty by installing a filter in your shower head.

 Most people are not aware of the dangers they are exposed to when showering without a filter, namely chlorine.  Chlorine is often used to purify the water we drink and bathe in; however, it is very dangerous to our health.  Exposure to chlorine can lead to such health problems as heart disease, bladder and breast cancer, and asthma.  What’s mind-boggling is that 50% of our exposure to chlorine happens in the shower, both through skin contact and inhalation, as the heat from a hot shower releases chlorine vapors which contaminate the lungs. 

 Health threats aside, shower filters can do a lot to enhance your beauty.  You can actually replace expensive lotions and moisturizes with a shower filter, because water, with the absence of chlorine, hydrates and rejuvenates skin.  Upon using the filter, your hair will also begin to heal itself from all the damage chlorine has caused it and your skin will appear vibrant and smooth.  How about that for cost-benefit analysis! 

Stainless steel bottles have become highly popular and as a result scammers have entered the business in droves.  Consumers, beware of these scams!

Customers who purchased Eco Canteen stainless steel water bottles for roughly $10 soon saw other miscellaneous charges on their bank statements, such as outrageous fees for shipping and handling.  Furthermore, many purchasers cited the poor quality of the bottles, and upon returning them, were not fully refunded.  Please do not fall for the “upsells” offered by companies such as these.

Other scammers have sold aluminum bottles and called them stainless. Aluminum leaches alumina, which has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Also companies are dumping very low-grade stainless steel bottles on the market and people assume they are getting food grade 304 stainless.

I know all of that information is difficult to digest, but at least find comfort that New Wave Enviro Products is confident that all of its stainless steel products handily pass the requirements laid out by the Consumer Product Safety Information Act (CPSIA).  Knowledgeable consumers are asking for New Wave Enviro Products’ stainless steel bottles because they know they can trust the quality. New wave stainless steel products can be found in over 2,000 health, vitamin, grocery health departments and health web retailers nationwide.

As we continue our search for innovative products and techniques that foster environmental change and energy conservation, we sometimes forget to utilize those that already do.  One such example is stainless steel.  It is such a familiar, every-day material that people may overlook the fact that it’s green, in that it’s re-usable, recyclable, doesn’t stain or rust, and can be melted time and again and reformed into new products.

 You may think “hmmm, well doesn’t plastic do the same thing?”  The answer is yes, except plastic has proven to be detrimental to the environment in more than one way.  Plastic is made from oil, which is a major issue worldwide and the source of many problems.  Additionally, plastic is a major pollutant when manufactured or tossed away.

 The stainless steel movement has materialized into something big.  We now find stainless steel products in a variety of shapes and sizes that serve multiple purposes, from portable goods such as food containers and water bottles, to household appliances.

 I, Nick Greene, prefer stainless steel not only for its environmental use, but also for its cosmetic appeal.  It has such prestige and robustness that I feel it’s added a lot of flavor to my personality, it alone makes plastic look dull and boring.  Now, you will never see me without a stainless steel food container or water bottle by my side, whether at my desk or in the gym, even at home!
