Hey everyone,
Recently my friend has joined the organization/cause named 'Thankyou Water'.
In a nutshell, it's about 15 people at the moment who are selling bottled spring water and putting 100% of the profits towards water projects in places such as Uganda, Cambodia and in the future many more.
Currently none of them are even drawing a wage and work a second job to survive until the cause demands all of their time.
The process to my knowledge is about as eco-friendly as it gets in Australia and they are researching making the bottles biodegradable. There's about 700 independent retailers that sell 'Thankyou Water' at the moment + Australia post and Jetstar have picked it up.
Basically the point of this thread is I'm trying to do my part and spread the word to any eco-friendly/conscientious businesses out there as i really do think this is a massive step up in humanity.
While I understand most of the people on the Zeitgeist forums don't like the monetary system or consumerism. With around 900 million people around the world that don't have a supply of clean water, and 600 million dollars being spent (in Australia alone) on bottled water each year.
We need to endorse this positive alternative.
If you know any businesses that would like to pick it up or own one yourself, please email
Myself: Anabolite@hotmail.com
My friend working in the organization: Kirk.pereira@thankyouwater.org
Or put business details (eg. number/name/email) on this thread so the organization can contact them!
It costs $9 for 12 bottles with a minimum spend of $80 per order (75c. a bottle).
Thanks for your patience in reading this guys, if you would like more info: http://www.thankyouwater.org/behind-the-scenes/how-it-works/
