It is time for A Mama’s Blog, and Lets Go Green.biz’s monthly giveaway! This month, I am happy to announce that we will be giving away not one, but TWO of the fabulous BPA free water bottles made by Camelbak.
If you are not aware of what BPA’s are, they are a chemical called Bisphenola-A (BPA) traditionally used in making hard plastic bottles. Wikipedia, states that BPA’s have been thought to be hazardous to humans since the 1930’s. Long term exposure to BPA’s can induce chronic toxicity. Some of the effects on the body, that were toxic in rats were: permanent changes to the genital tract, changes in breast tissue that predispose cells to hormones and carcinogens, breast cells predisposed to cancer, and lower bodyweight in both genders, and signs of early puberty.
BPA is known to leach from the plastic when heated at high temperatures (such as being washed in a dishwasher.) Needless to say, this isn’t a chemical that you want to be overly exposed to, and any chance you have to reduce your exposure to it-the better.
How many of us have plastic water bottles for ourselves and children? Before becoming informed on BPA’s, I always ran my water bottles in the dishwasher, increasing the chances that my family was exposed to this chemical.
Lets Go Green’s water bottles are ALL BPA free, so you can put them in the dishwasher with no worries. I have been using the 25-ounce Better Bottle now for a month and a half, and it is great. I take it everywhere with me. I especially love that the straw and the lid stay in place. I have had so many water bottles that the straw comes out, and then it doesn’t work right, or makes annoying noises when drinking from it, so I ended up just throwing the straw away.
My boys fight over who gets to use the 21-ounce Podium Bottle. It is so easy to use and to hold, that my two-year old can use it with no help from me. The lid is great too, because you can adjust how much liquid comes out, and you can completely turn the lid to “off,” so you don’t have any unexpected spills. I definitely will be ordering another one of these so each boy has his own.
Be sure to check out Lets Go Green’s line of insulated water bottles too.
For this giveaway, we are giving one 25-ounce Better Bottle, and one 21-ounce Podium Bottle. The winners get to pick the color they would like. In order to be eligible to win, go to Lets Go Green.biz BPA Free Water Bottle page, and look through the water bottles. Then leave a comment here, stating which bottle you would like to have, and what color(s) you like. If you would like to earn an additional chance to win, mention this contest on your blog, and provide a link back here. Be sure to sign Mr. Linky so I know you did this.
There will be TWO winners selected on Monday, September 1, at 8 PM eastern time, by random.org. The first winner will receive the 25-ounce size, and the second winner will receive the 21-ounce size.
If you can’t wait for the contest to end, these water bottles are VERY affordable. They range in price from $8.79 to $12.89. If you use the coupon code, FRIEND, at check-out, you will receive 25% off your order!
Good luck!
