Kleen Kanteen water Bottles

Be aware of what is happening in our ocean! The chemistry of the oceans is changing as they absorb 11 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide a year, acidifying waters will making it impossible for coral reefs, the nurseries of the sea, to grow. At the current rate of acidification, corals, sea snails and other calcium-carbonate-requiring life forms could begin to dissolve by the middle of the century, with potentially catastrophic results. Shellfish and fish will be in deep trouble as well.
