  HDPE

  Hey,

  HDPE is a softer plastic that can leach as well, but is not made with BPA chemicals. It's better if you can go with a Sigg or a Klean Kanteen though. On Nalgene, Wal-Mart back away from BPA posted 1 year, 7 months ago 4 Responses

  Alberta Tar Sands

  You should also check out the Alberta Tar Sands, dubbed the next major oil site in the world, it's the dirtest oil on the planet and requires a lot of water, water Alberta does have, it's not sustainable, yet it may occupy up to a third of the province in the next 20 years.

  The term "tar sands" refers to thick oil called bitumen that is mixed in with sand, clay, and water. Intensive energy is required to process the sands into crude oil. Tar Sands oil is the world's most harmful type of oil for the atmosphere, emitting high volumes of greenhouse gases during development, which contribute to global warming, as well as other pollutants. Tar Sands projects are the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions growth in Canada. By 2015, the Tar Sands are expected to emit more greenhouse gases than the nation of Denmark (pop. 5.4 million).
