Get in Gear: Pink Ribbon Water Bottle
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to tell you about this Ribbons Within a Ribbon Water Bottle. It's being sold on the Breast Cancer Site Store, and for each bottle purchased, the organization will fund 1 percent of a mammogram for a woman who otherwise couldn't afford one.

Campbell's Chicken Noodle BPA-Leaching Soup
It's uncertain how risky bisphenol A (BPA) is to humans, but I figure better safe than sorry.
