Toxic Climbing Water Bottles 7-Dec-2007 At 6:18:36 PM The Keeper
Message
Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) in Canada has just announced it will no longer be stocking these problematic toxic water bottles. MEC is easily the biggest chain of high quality and eco/human friendly outdoor gear in the country with major stores in most major Canadian cities. I would expect that other major players in the outdoor gear game such as Valhalla Pure and Coast Mountain Sports to the follow the MEC lead in the near future.
This is a major policy change as earlier responses to presentations by myself and others had yielded a "circle the bottles' response. I think they quickly realized the glaring discrepancy with corporate environmental ethics and the sale of these items and have brought their walking in line with their talking. Good on them. Might we imagine Pally Pallin lead the response in Aussie?
