Nalgene – Grip ‘n Gulp

Did you know that 20 billion water bottles were sent to the landfill last year -- more than double what it was in 2001! Making all the bottles for the US uses more than 50 million gallons of oil annually -- enough to fill up 100,000 cars for a year!

Nalgene, the legendary water bottle company considered an American icon especially in the outdoor world, has an array of bottles for various activities and now a special bottle called Grip ‘n Gulp - especially for children.

Since toddlers may have a little trouble carrying the standard sized Nalgene bottle, this 12 oz Grip ‘n Gulp is perfect creation because it's a leak proof, odor proof and durable product that doesn't need constant replacement (like sippy cups!) and can be turned into a small sized Nalgene bottle by picking up a top from Nalgene.
