What is Project Earth H2o?

“Ever wonder about those people who drink bottled water? Ever try spelling Evian backwards?” George Carlin


What is Project Earth H2o?

I get asked that question a lot. Actually, it’s more to the tune of “what on earth made you come up with that idea?” I also get, “why do you think this is so important?” To be honest, I really love when people ask these questions because it strikes to the very core of why I not only created Project Earth H2o, but why we should all care enough to get involved in some capacity. My goal at Project Earth H2o is to make a positive difference just by offering you a choice.


There are many stainless steel water bottle providers- A few offer very good products; a few offer not–so-good products. When it comes to purchasing stainless steel water bottles my advice is…don’t buy cheap bottles. You truly get what you pay for in the stainless steel water bottle category. The materials and construction of these bottles are key to their safety, recyclability, sustainability, and proper function. Furthermore, how many stainless steel water bottle companies are offering you the opportunity to make a positive difference with the actual proceeds from your purchase? The answer: Project Earth H2o. When you purchase Project Earth H2o stainless steel water bottles, you make a genuine difference.


We donate 10% of our profits to Breast Cancer Research and charities dedicated to making a positive environmental and humanitarian difference. You are making a true difference just by purchasing our bottles.


Project Earth H2o offers superior products at extremely competitive prices. All of our stainless steel water bottles are made with 100% recyclable materials and are 100% BPA free. We use 304, FDA approved, high quality, 18/8 Stainless Steel. All caps are safe, 100% BPA free #5 polypropylene.


We send you both sport caps & screw caps with every purchase FREE at NO extra charge! Other companies will charge you up to $5.99 + shipping & handling


Okay, there is my sales pitch. Now, let me tell you why I chose to get so involved.


About 5 years ago I read Blue Gold by Maude Barlow and Tony Clark. In short, this book informs us of the bottled water industry and the banking industry’s aggressive efforts to privatize our public water supplies; the water we, the US tax payers, currently own. This book opened my eyes to some ugly truths that are going on right now under our very noses. As a matter of fact, we, the public, are financing these ugly truths every time we purchase bottled water.


Most bottled water companies are not American owned companies. Do we want our fresh water supplies owned by foreign countries? Bottled water is already ounce-for-ounce more expensive than gasoline. Currently, from our own homes, we can fill an 8oz. glass of water 15,000 times with filtered tap water and it will still cost less than buying a 12-pack of bottled water.


Chances are if you drink filtered tap water from your home, you are drinking the same water that you are purchasing in bottles. Whether we like it or not, close to 50% of ALL bottled water is just regular tap water that has been filtered from a US municipal water source… our public water supplies. We are being led to believe that bottled water is safer and fresher than tap water, but the truth is that it is not.


Although they try to persuade us to believe bottled water is safer, I challenge you to find a bottled water company that will print or even say that their water is safer. The fact is they won’t and they can’t, because it’s simply not true. In 2007, the bottled water industry reported revenues in excess of $16 billion in the United States and over $100 billion worldwide. These corporations are using billions of dollars to aggressively lobby our politicians in Washington to enact legislation allowing them to privatize our public water supplies. How are these billions of dollars made? By selling consumers attractively packaged single-use water bottles filled with regular filtered tap water. These multinational corporations want to own our water and sell it back to us for thousands of percents more than we currently pay. Let me ask you, when was the last time a politician or a big corporation represented our best interest?


Many people are simply not aware that we are running out of fresh water. Although 70% of the planet is covered in water, only 2.6% is fresh drinking water. The United Nations released a report last year stating that by the year 2025 over two-thirds of our planet will not have enough fresh water to sustain basic life. That’s 17 years from now. Fresh water is the most valuable natural resource we have, even more valuable than oil. We need fresh water to live. That is why it is so important to the corporations and banks to own it…hence, Blue Gold. Do we want these multinational companies to have that kind of control over our survival?


Project Earth H2o offers you an opportunity to deal with these realities before these realities deal with you; an opportunity to make a statement; an opportunity to stand up to these large corporations who are trying to take that which is yours; an opportunity to help save our planet and stop the environmental and economic atrocities created by the production, transportation and disposal of single-use bottled water. When people use Project Earth H2o brand stainless steel water bottles, they know that together we are making a difference.


Don’t follow-- lead. Get informed. Get Project Earth H2o.
