$20 Bottled Water
The fact that we pay anything for water is still pretty interesting if you think about it… But I won’t get off topic here. This $20 bottle of water is actually a 100% donation that goes toward building wells and creating safe drinking water sources in Africa.
From Flavorpill >
“Scott Harrison, a friend and former NYC club promoter, now global promoter of greater good, is building sustainable sources of water in Africa, and we can all help. Through his organization charity: water, you can buy bottles of spring water and all of the money goes for others who have none. Think of it as water for water.”
Flavorpill has already shelled out $2,000 and are asking their readers to contribute the other half for a total of $4,000. One hundred virtual bottles @ $2o a piece. Think it’s too much?? Try this > refill your bottle of water 20 times and with the money you saved you can help save some lives. Isn’t that refreshing : ) Take a sip today.
