Response # 14: Is Your Canteen Kleen?

The website Kleen Kanteen is a website that basically sells clean canteens. This website is mostly geared towards people who are aware of  the health problems that can arise when a person drinks water from reusable bottles that contain a chemical called bisphenal-a (BPA). BPA has been attributed to being an endocrine disruptor, and is found to be most dangerous to in children, babies, and fetuses.

Kleen Kanteen promises that their bottles are BPA free. This website very effectively conveys that their products are safe for consumers to consume beverage from. Thee website also does a great job of explaining why BPA is dangerous for human to consume. Kleen Kanteen also sells water filters that fit onto their water bottles. These water filters will remove particles, bacterium, and protozoans that may be found in water.

This website fills a much needed niche. When a person who owns one of these water filters is out hiking and comes across a river or stream they will be able to filter the water into their water bottle and know that it is safe to drink. One source of water contamination could be animals going to the bathroom in the water. This website also fills a niche by allowing consumers to purchase water bottles that are BPA free.

This website implicates that people should be filtering their water when they are getting it from sources that are not already purified. Another environmental implication that applies more to the environment around us, rather than our natural environment, is that there are probably more than likely a lot of water bottles in use that contain BPA.

The purpose of this website is great. It is helping people stay healthy and enabling them to take comfort in knowing that they can buy a water bottle that will not make them sick.
