I have the best new water bottle for all of your earth conscious, tree huggers! I was shopping at Whole Foods and saw a fancy display of fashionable water bottles. At first glance, they looked fun while feeling lightweight and ergonomic. Then I saw the $20 price tag. Hmmmm......should I really ditch my freebie water bottles from the neighborhood fun run for this space-age bottle?

After doing some research on the company, I am fully convinced that this bottle is worth every penny. Sigg, dubbed the "original Swiss bottles", are extremely durable and virtually unbreakable. The website boasts that the water bottle was the only one to survive a barage from a 100 pound cannon filled with golf balls. All of the other water bottle targets were destroyed in the experiment conducted in 2006 by Backpacker magazine. The best part of these bottles is that there is absolutely no aftertaste. If you have an acidic energy drink on Tuesday, your plain water on Wednesday will taste like pure water instead of acidic water. The inner liner will not chip or flake and there is much less chance for bacteria build-up. I am waiting for Dr. Oz to show a disgusting picture of bacteria that grows inside of water bottles. I am not sure he could top the tape worm demo he did on Oprah a couple weeks ago though!

The bottles are 100% recyclable and do not leach any harmful chemicals into the environment. Take that, Al Gore! They are even manufactured in an environmentally friendly environment.

Sigg manufacturers know that you are uniquely you and want a way to express your individuality. They have teamed with 30 independent artists to design bottles and caps that fit your lifestyle, your personality and your moods. New designs are added every year. Not that you will need an update every year, because some people swear that these bottles can last more than a decade!

I bet celebrity eco advocates like Leonardo DiCaprio would approve of your $20 purchase. Hug a tree, buy a Sigg and swig away!
