There is a very direct relationship between water and our health, and plastics and our environment. We investigate, inform, and influence about these urgent issues facing us.
Plastic production pollutes our environment as it requires fossil fuels to produce. Single-use plastic water bottles waste water as they use three times as much water to produce. Most of the plastic ends up in landfills where it leeches harmful chemicals and decomposes into microplastic waste over hundreds of years. This pollution gets into our waterways and oceans that hurts the wildlife and us.
Our Mission
Our mission is to reduce the use of single-use plastic water bottles and eventually eliminate them
Our Vision
Our vision is to have a plastic pollution free world. By eliminating single-use plastic water bottles, we will reduce plastic consumption and wasteful usage of our precious water and energy resources. It will provide one more example of how we can eliminate plastics from our daily lives. Earth will become a cleaner, healthier and greener place.
