According to today's NYT Week in Review section, How Green is My Bottle, "One stainless bottle is obviously much worse than one plastic bottle. Producing that 300-gram stainless steel bottle requires seven times as much fossil fuel, releases 14 times more greenhouse gases, demands the extraction of hundreds of times more metal resources and causes hundreds of times more toxic risk to people and ecosystems than making a 32 gram plastic bottle. If you're planning to take only one drink in your life, buy plastic."
The comparison is to cheap-o plastic bottles, but it stands when comparing them to Nalgenes.
