Mar 5th, 2012 at 8:00AM: Finding safe and clean drinking water while traveling can often be a real challenge, particularly if you're visiting some of the more remote destinations on the planet. Wandering off the beaten path may be one of the more rewarding elements of travel, but it can also be detrimental to our health as many of the world's water sources contain bacteria, viruses and even parasites. Fortunately there ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Wandering off the beaten path may be one of the more rewarding elements of travel, but it can also be detrimental to our health as many of the world's water sources contain bacteria, viruses and even parasites.

Dec 16th, 2011 at 11:00AM: Plastic water bottles are about to become an endangered species at Grand Canyon National Park. The Park Service has announced that the sale of bottled water in vending machines, shops, and hotels inside the park will be banned early next year, in an effort to cut waste and protect the environment there. But first, park officials must complete an extensive survey of the availability of other water ...Gift Guide for Warm Weather Adventurers
Nov 29th, 2011 at 8:00AM: As December approaches and the holiday season draws near, those warm summer days that we enjoyed just a few months back are already a distant memory. But no matter what the calendar says, I guarantee the adventurer on your shopping list is already plotting his or her next warm weather escape. Considering summer really is just a short plane ride away, here are some suggestions for what to buy them ...New water bottle stations in Grand Canyon make park safer, more "green"
Apr 13th, 2011 at 8:30AM: Stretching for 277 miles through the Arizona desert, the Grand Canyon is amongst the more impressive natural wonders you'll ever see. It is over 6000 feet in depth and at its widest point, it is 18 miles across. Everything about the place is truly epic in scale, and that is why the park receives nearly 4.5 million visitors a year. But all those visitors can have an impact on the environment there, ...Top ten simple ways to lower your travel carbon footprint in 2011
Dec 24th, 2010 at 11:30AM: It's almost a new decade, and the earth ain't getting any younger, cooler, or less crowded. As travel enthusiasts (even if it's via an armchair), there are plenty of small changes we can make that cumulatively have a significant positive impact upon the planet. When you consider the amount of fossil fuels required to fly or even take a weekend roadtrip, it makes even more sense to try and offset ...Review: WaterGeeks filtering stainless steel water bottle
Oct 15th, 2010 at 12:00PM:
The WaterGeeks filtering stainless water bottle is a water bottle with a twist - besides being a non-leaching BPA free container, the bottle features a built in water filter capable of removing water contaminants, chlorine, bad odors, lead and heavy metals.
The bottle itself comes in two sizes - 12oz or 24oz and you can chose from stainless or one of eight different colors. You can even ...Gear review: Hydros water bottle
May 1st, 2010 at 6:30PM: A Gadling reader responded to my earlier 3 Innovative Reusable Water Bottles round-up by suggesting that I check out the Hydros water bottle. Here's how this reusable bottle measures up.
Hydros
This hefty water bottle is no lightweight. When comparing empty containers, the Hydros easily feels twice as heavy as the Bobble that I tested. That said, this BPA-free bottle is something that I could ...3 Innovative Reusable Water Bottles
Apr 14th, 2010 at 11:30AM: Earth Day may be next week, but being eco-conscious has become a year-round trend.
When it comes to being green, here are three water-bottle designers that are breaking the mold without breaking the bank.
Bobble
This bulbous-looking water bottle comes with a built-in filter that should be changed every few months. Made with recycled plastic, the BPA-free Bobble never spilled in my bag even ...DMZ water coming to a Korean grocery store near you
Jan 4th, 2010 at 2:00PM: With all the bottled water you'll find on grocery store shelves these days, any new player absolutely has to have a gimmick. There are just too many brands on the market. So, a company really does need to go the extra mile to stand out. That's probably why "DMZ 2km" is getting some media love.
DMZ 2km is drawn from a plant in the southern half of the Korean peninsula's Demilitarized Zone, the 4 ...Tourists in Venice urged to drink the water
Sep 29th, 2009 at 2:00PM: Collecting the trash in Venice is no easy feat. After all, it's not like a garbage truck can just drive down the street - there aren't any. Garbage is collected by workers with wheelbarrows and then loaded onto barges and costs about $335 million per ton to remove (compared to $84 million per ton on the mainland of Italy).
In an effort to reduce these costs, the Venetian government is asking ...Road testing the KOR ONE water bottle
Aug 13th, 2009 at 12:00PM: As part of Gadling's Green month it's part of our responsibility to test out all things green, from the new green hotels down the street to green travel destinations to new green materials and gear. It's been a long time coming, but recently we had the opportunity to test out KOR's new ONE water bottles, a slick series of thin, versatile containers with an eco-conscious ethos. Constructed out of ...Product review - The Cruising Caddy
Feb 9th, 2009 at 1:30PM: By now, I'm sure most of you are used to my product reviews involving items with buttons and lights. Still, every now and then I'll run into a product that is not battery operated, but interesting enough to warrant a closer look. The BVT Products Cruising Caddy is a travel tote and water bottle holder. The product is roomy enough to hold a 1.5 liter bottle and has 2 pockets on the outside for the ...
