Al Gore

It's currently 10 kajillion degrees out in most of the country, thanks mostly to one of the worst heat waves this side of Al Gore's "I told you so." There's only one thing to do in horrible, soul-immolating weather-times like this: Shop for water bottles. Why not start with the Water Bottle with Steel Cap and Base from 99centpromos.com? The 18 oz., BPA-free bottles are available in blue or clear colors and feature a no-slip base.

I recently interviewed Mark Trotzuk, president of Boardroom ECO Apparel, for one of the articles I'm currently writing for our upcoming June responsibility supplement, which is a mini-issue about all kinds of great stuff like corporate social accountability and environmental stewardship.
