Can't quit bottled water?
You're not alone.
Here's one investment in aqua that rates second to carrying your own BPA-free reusable bottle of good old fashioned tap water. And they're great alternatives for your office's hydration supply!
Lucky Seven Meets Project 7
Sip by sip, Project 7 water, available for purchase online, can help you contribute to:
1. Building the Future
2. Feeding the Hungry
3. Healing the Sick
4. Helping Those in Need
5. Hoping for Peace
6. Housing the Homeless
7. ...and Saving the Earth!
You see, 50% of profits from Project 7 Purified Water will benefit each one of these seven critical areas. And the coolest thing is that regardless of sales during its first year, Project 7 has committed to donating $15,000 to nonprofits supporting each of the seven areas in 2009. That's a minimum donation of $105,000. Talk about liquid gold!
Eco Icing
Project 7 bottles are made from recyclable Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and water is shipped using boxes made from 100% recyclable material and soy inks with no shrink wrapping. Since each innovative box holds more bottles of water than a single tray, Project 7 requires only four trucks as opposed to five to ship the same amount of product.
Hydrate, Kennedy-Style
All profits of Robert Kennedy's Keeper Springs goes to the environment. Named for the Waterkeeper Alliance, an international network of environmental groups that protect America's waterways, Keeper Springs is bottled in Vermont.
If you are looking for the greenest way to go, try to kick the bottled water habit altogether.
And if you truly believe water is a human right, get involved March 22nd at a World Water Day event near you!
