<p class="ydpc370d88eyiv5529398759MsoNormal">During our last GS meeting we had discussed purchasing stainless steel water bottles to sell at events to educate and cut down on the use of plastic bottles. After doing investigation, It seems that USA made stainless
steel bottles are practically nonexistent. [sigh] the few I found were very expensive – cost prohibitive for resale. USA made BPA free plastic bottles are available for bulk sale but, they are plastic. At this point it seems like the idea is not really
as good as hoped. </p>
