EnviroBottles is taking very seriously the issue with plastic water bottles and using water as a commodity. The information is vast regarding the seriousness of this problem - not only from the waste it generates, but by the fact that a valuable resource that should be available FREE to every human being is used to give HUGE profits to some big businesses. North Americans don't realize that the purchase of water is step towards privatizing drinking water and therefore, working towards making water a commodity. In third world countries where clean drinking water is very difficult to attain, people walk for many miles to get one or 2 jugs of this resource. We can turn on a tap, thoughtlessly, and fill a glass, flush a toilet, have a shower, bathe our pets, wash our cars........and not think twice.
Our goal is to get as many people as possible to sign our pledge: "I pledge not to drink bottled water where municipal water is available. According to the Polaris Institute, 30% of Canadians use bottled water as their main source of drinking water. Isn't that a scary thought?! Send us your name and municipality of residence and we will put your name on our growing list of concerned citizens who are willing to give up the use of bottled water, with the exception of emergencies.
Love to hear from YOU!
