I applaud Nalgene for its commitment to the environment. I agree that decreasing landfill waste generated by plastic water bottles would be a tremendous achievement beneficial to the environment, animals and people alike.
As someone who has been touched by breast cancer, I now ask Nalgene to go one step further in protecting the environment by discontinuing the manufacture and sale of polycarbonate water bottles. As you know, one of the building blocks of polycarbonate plastic is bisphenol A (BPA). BPA is a known endocrine disruptor that puts our health and the health of our children at risk.
Nearly 200 articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals have shown that BPA has adverse health effects. In one recent example, research conducted at Tufts University demonstrated that in-utero exposure to BPA, even in extremely low doses, increased the risk of developing breast cancer later in life.
I encourage Nalgene to focus your attention on such government and academic research, which accounts for most of what we know about BPA.
It is time for Nalgene-Outdoor, Nalgene-Nunc and Thermo Fisher Scientific to live up to the commitment it makes to the environment and its customers by removing BPA from all of its products, including water bottles and children’s products.
