Hello Fashionable Treehugger!

It's the Green Diva, so nice to meet you!  I am really excited about a brand new product that's going to help the environment and save your skin!  Brita has just created the Brita Bottle--a water bottle with a built-in filter inside!  How sweet is that?  Using a Brita bottle will not only save your gas from multiple trips to the grocerty store, but using it replaces 150 water bottles!  This handy little piece of BPA-free plastic will cost you only $9 (normally the price of about three twelve-packs of water), comes in green (how clever!) or blue and has a convienient finger loop so you can carry it with ease to the salon, a festival or upcoming summer concert!  Learn more at www.brita.com.

What is BPA plastic anyway?  BPA is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s. 

What's the risk?   Well, appearantly, "the National Toxicology Program at the Department of Health and Human Services says it has 'some concern' about the possible health effects of BPA on the brain, behavior and prostate gland of fetuses, infants and children. This level of concern is midway on its five-level scale, which ranges from serious to negligible..."*

Now, about your looks... water is an essential part of any beauty regimen and can boost elasticity and increase clarity.  I'm speaking for myself here, but try drinking only water for a week and notice the difference!  Get more health benefits of water at http://www.health-benefit-of-water.com/benefit-of-drinking-water.html.  Bottom's up!
