Well, what is there that we can buy that is actually made in the USA anymore?
And I always reuse my plastic water bottles and never have any mold problem. They just have to get air in them just like a bathroom gets mold its not ventilated properly...
I do like these bottles though and the messages on them, but I couldn't find the cost of each one?
I know some of us would prefer to buy a metal water bottle not made in China for any number of reasons. And most people would like to support U.S. businesses.
I get promotion emails from a local outdoor adventure store and they are carrying a new product - a metal water bottle made in the US!
Liberty Bottle Works in the Pacific NW
Most companies who actually manufacture in the USA are quite proud of it and put it out there where it is obvious. Those who import use words like "based in USA" and either don't mention or hide where the goods are manufactured in the small print.
Even things that say "made in the usa" aren't always completely made in the usa
One place that I've recently found is www.americanalternative.net. They seem to be pretty thorough with their research and they seem to call out companies that say "made in usa" when only some parts or processes are made here.
Unfortunately they only seem to have looked at water bottles so far, but hopefully they start looking at other products, too!
And they do say Nalgene (only some of their bottles) and Liberty Bottle Works bottles are made in the USA (which some of the other commenters have talked about).

I love glass and drink from it at work and home (including hot tea). Looks like a great product.
curious what the top is made from? You know, the part the screws in an touches the water.
