{Giveaway ENDED} Win This Sturdy And Cool Bamboo Bottle

I was so excited to try one of these cool bottles from Bamboo Bottle Company for two reason. First, I am a huge fan of reusable bottles that kick the plastic bottles off of this planet. And two, I love bamboo and the amazing durable, sustainable  and beautiful features of bamboo. When the bottle arrived I was thrilled to give it a trial run for the day. Here are my observations:

• Heavy duty construction: This is not a lightweight bottle, but in a good way. Though this is not a bottle I would throw into my bag, I would keep it in the car or or in a picnic basket.
  
  
• Go go glass: I am a big fan of drinking from glass but hesitate to bring it with me to a park with kids. The glass on the Bamboo Bottle is covered in a durable smooth bamboo that will keep the water insulated as well as protected from shattering.
  
  
• Super easy cleaning: I love that the bottle comes out of the bamboo to clean inside and out.
  
  
• Spin the top: The top is very easy for small and big fingers to open and close.
  
  
• Drink it up: I also love the wide mouth glass bottle.
  

Here are some great features about the wonderful bamboo:

• Bamboo replenishes the environment and the air we breathe. Bamboo releases 35% more oxygen than equivalent strands of trees. And it can sequester up to 12 tons of carbon dioxide from the air per hectare. (Bamboo really does help fight global warming!)
  
  
• Harvesting bamboo does not destroy its root system, meaning there is no topsoil erosion or run-off.
  
  
• Harvesting of bamboo minimally impacts the wildlife, compared to hardwood "logging," where big machinery tears the land apart.
  
  
• Our bamboo is harvested from areas designated and supported by the Chinese government for the sustainability of the species

About The Brand - In Their Own Words:

At the crux of the design, we wanted to develop a bamboo bottle that guarantees a clean and crisp water taste, safe at all temperatures. We began with the smooth bamboo sleeve itself. After (seemingly) hundreds of impossibilities, we fell upon our first-of-its-kind design-an easily removable, dishwasher-safe, glass interior produced from completely natural substances and able to withstand active lifestyles.

Unlike plastics and metals that can leach chemicals into your drink, our BPA-free glass interior keeps your drink safe, clean tasting and insulated-hot or cold. The stylish, patent pending design allows for easy cleanup. Simply unscrew the top and bottom and slide the dishwasher-safe glass lining out.

But part of creating a new kind of bottle is creating a new kind of bottle company.

At Bamboo Bottle Company, we strive to be good stewards of this Earth. It's one reason we chose bamboo. Bamboo minimizes carbon dioxide and generates up to 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees. One hectare of bamboo scrubs 62 tons of carbon dioxide a year.

About The Bottle

Bamboo Original bottle is a clean, safe and stylish bottle made from the practically inexhaustible resources of bamboo and glass. Bamboo gives our unique bottles style and strength. The glass guarantees safe, clean drinking at all temperatures, erasing the dangers of plastic water bottles (of which I'm sure your aware).

Full disclosure: there are also three plastic pieces, two of which are recyclable (we're working on the third!) and all are BPA-free (and dishwasher safe).
