Just in time for summer, the *NEW* Stainless Steel Double-Walled water bottles are in.  They can keep your cold drinks chilled for up to 24 hours.  Also great for hot drinks, these bottles keep your favorite tea or coffee steaming for up to 8 hours.  Each bottle is made from food grade stainless steel, comes with a stainless steel cap, and has an included carabiner.

Double walled bottles are often referred to by different names including vacuum bottle, insulated bottle, or even thermos bottle.  Besides keeping your drinks hot/cold for a much longer time period than an ordinary stainless steel bottle, they don’t sweat in warm weather.

Specs:

Capacity – 750 ml
Weight – 11 ozs
Cap – Stainless Steel with carabiner
Height – 10.5 inches

Need ideas for gifts during the holiday season?  Why not give a water bottle?  Not only do they make great stocking stuffers, but you can feel good that you are contributing to a healthier lifestyle and reducing pollution.

Planet Zero Gravity has two sizes of bottles, 1 liter and 0.5 liter.  They both have wide mouths to make cleaning easier.  The 0.5 liter bottles have 2 cap options – a sports top or the eco-friendly stainless steel cap.  Also, visit our website for bottle totes by Eco-East and to see what water purifier works well with our stainless steel sports bottles.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Thanks for making our business better.  We asked our web visitors who did not purchase any of our bottles why.  We took your top reasons and made some changes:

1.  At the top of the list was price.  Even though our unpainted stainless steel bottles sold at $19.99 with free shipping, we realize economic times are tough.  So for a limited time, we are dropping the price to $17.99.  This beats most of our other competitiors out there when you factor in their shipping and handling costs.

2. You also said you would like some other bottle designs with different cap options.  Available next month (August 2009) will be the new line of Planet Zero Gravity water bottles.  These bottles will be smaller than our current design – 0.6 liters versus 1 liter.  They will fit in most cupholders and feature 2 different caps – a stainless steel or a sports cap. 

Stay tuned for more information on our website in the next couple weeks and thanks to everyone who took the time to vote.

Did you know that Earth Day is celebrated globally on April 22 each year? Why not celebrate the Earth Day every day of the year? With all of the news about global warming and pollution, what steps are you taking to help the environment and make it a better place for our children and future generations? Today is the perfect time to reflect and take action.

Each of us can help everyday in simple ways. For example, you could start in your own community by buying locally. There are so many wonderful farms and local stores to purchase quality and delicious products from. When going to the store, always reuse canvas tote bags. If you keep them handy in your car you won’t forget them on your next trip. 

Re-Use and Recycle everything possible! Re-using is the best but recycling when it is not possible to reuse is responsible. Also buying in bulk, choosing organic, fair-trade and recycled paper products is immensely important. Purchase products with the least possible packaging.

 ”Green” household cleaners are readily available. These cleaners work and smell great and are non toxic. They are not only good for your home but also your health and the environment. Switching from Standard Light bulbs to Compact Fluorescent light bulbs cuts down on your energy bill and also lowers greenhouse gasses.

To conserve fuel try to take public transportation, carpool and combine trips. Bike or walk everywhere possible. This saves fuel, lowers vehicle emissions and helps keep you fit.

Lastly, carry your “Planet Zero Gravity” water bottle everyday! Stay hydrated and protect the planet by re-using your bottle and not polluting. You will feel better, the community will be cleaner and you will save an enormous amount of money.

These are just a few easy ideas for getting started in helping our planet. Each of us can make a difference and create a “cleaner, greener” future.

Stainless Steel Water Bottles

Still spending lots of money buying bottled water that tastes like plastic?  Feeling guilty about all those plastic water bottles ending up in a landfill?

Check out our eco friendly water bottles made from food grade stainless steel.  They are lightweight and BPA-Free.  Our bottles come with a wide mouth for easy cleaning.

December ‘08 – Planet Zero Gravity launches a new line of stainless steel water bottles. These bottles are made from food grade stainless steel and are 1 Liter in size – perfect to carry around with you during the day to stay hydrated. There has been a much publicized scare recently about BPA in many of the plastic bottles on the market today. Also, plastic bottles are one of the leading sources of pollution in landfills. Many are discarded and end up washing up onto beaches around the world.

Our stainless steel bottles can be recycled, are BPA-Free, and because of the wide mouth are easily cleaned. Stainless steel bottles do not require a liner like aluminum bottles do. These liners can crack and leech if the bottle becomes damaged.
