What’s Going On - Wednesday

National Geographic talks about the lionfish population explosion, a hazard of home collecting (video). They say the fish were either dumped in the ocean or escaped. But how does a lionfish “escape” from a fish tank into the ocean?
It’s the Little Thinks mourns her Sigg bottle.
Eddie discusses dog food additives.
Haute Nature found great bags to solar charge your geek gear.
Enviroblog says WalMart and Burger King may be more concerned about your health than some elected officials.
So - do Sigg bottles not hold up in the freezer?
I was thinking about getting one this very weekend, but freezing would be a crucial part of my usage…Anyone?
I have a kleen kanteen, but have never frozen it. I think the trick may be leaving enough room for expansion, but am not 100 percent on that.
I have images of someone taking his beloved pet lionfish scuba diving with him, but the leash broke, and poor little Rex got away.
Other than that, I don’t really think it’s possible for fish to escape. That’s one of their pluses.
I once froze my Kleen Kanteen while it was full of water–it still works, though I had to take a hammer to the bottom, which had ballooned out a bit when the water froze. An easy fix.
I’m a little less ashamed at having stopped at Burger King after hiking last week. Just a little.
Hello Everyone, I am the one that killed my first Sigg bottle I ever bought. I believe Sigg advices to not put their bottles in the freezer but I think the trick is: 1. Don’t fill it all the way, leave some air. I didn’t do that. 2. Don’t leave it in the freezer too long. I left it overnight. When I found it the next morning I was so angry at myself! I meant to leave it for about an hour to just get the water cold inside but then left the house with out taking the poor guy out. What a tragic death. He has gone to the big recycling center in the sky.
Be Green.
Thanks, Allison, Allie and Torie. I’m at school for long days this semester and I’m trying to find an option for having a good supply of cold water with me all day - without having to buy bottles of water. I guess what I *really* need is ice!
