BAN THE BOTTLE!

The Brita Hydration Station from Haws is the best way to provide hygenic, touch free access to great tasting filtered water!

There is no better way to support a healthy body than by drinking water.  Sometimes at work or school the only option is to bring your own disposable bottle of water.  This is not a good option for the environment – plastic water bottles are choking landfills all around the globe.

Brita has long been recognized as a source of great tasting, safe water in the home.  Now, in conjunction with Haws Corporation you can have access to Brita water in any public space – dispensed from a touchless sensor, straight into your own personal, refillable water bottle.

Canada Has a new “Water GURU”

Water is a precious resource, but what are we doing in this country to protect it?  I for one feel much better knowing that the folks at the Innovolve Group are stewarding a succesful course for this country’s most valuable asset.

Check out Dr Anthony Watanabe on BNN last night discussing the role of water in our economy and the future:

The future of water and the Canadian economy

This is the same group who pioneered the Sustainability Studio – we need more forward thinkers like these guys! http://www.sustainabilitystudio.com/
