Yeah, but there are really two issues that each person needs to deal with. One is to reduce their personal intake by not carrying and drinking boiling hot tea etc. directly out of the stuff. The second is to stop putting it into the environment by consuming it for any purpose, because the environment is where it ends up. But just because there will always be some stuff out there is certainly no argument not to stop using Lexan Nalgene bottles. If you like to hike while drinking hot tea as I do they are really one of the worst possible applications for BPA, other than baby bottles.

For years they kept implying Lexan was the only safe plastic for hot beverages.
Now they say safe for their intended purpose, cold water only, more total BS.
If you just want them for cold drinks, why not some safer plastic like PP ???

Bottom line. Lexan Nalgene Water Bottles are NOT a safe product. They never were.

The ban has been long overdue, and is still dragging its feet. I don't want anything to do with the company or anyone that sells them. It drives me nuts to see how many are stocked on shelves everywhere, along with all the other plastic consumer junk. We gotta stop buying so much plastic. As outdoor and hiking enthusiasts, we should be the LAST group to be dragging our feet on this.

Bottom line. Less consuming. More Hiking.
