Water in a Can...All the Cool Kids Are Doing It
Just in case you're keeping track of the sexy bottled water race to be
the best, the greenest, the most environmentally responsible -- you know, who uses less plastic, who uses smaller bottles, who uses recyclable materials, etc. -- here comes
U.K. water purveyor SOURCE.
In the next few weeks, Source will unveil their new 100% recyclable
aluminum can filled to the brim with their signature tasty spring
water. YAY!One catch: for now the space-aged receptacle will only be available in SoCal's high end eateries. So I'm assuming Lindsay's lunches at Crustacean will include sipping H2O from Source aluminum from now on.
"Just as SOURCE's water source is sustainable and naturally replenished, aluminum cans can be recycled and turned into a new can time and time again. Recycling just one aluminum can of SOURCE Water saves enough energy to run a television for three hours or a 100-watt light bulb for four hours," so says Source in a statement.
"Every year over 50 billion aluminum cans are recycled in the U.S., saving the energy equivalent of 15 million barrels of crude oil - America's entire gas consumption for one day."
"Protecting the resources of our planet should be a priority for every one of us," says Ryan Sowards, President of Source Water USA. "We are committed to environmental responsibility. Most importantly Source comes from an entirely sustainable source and we have selected aluminum packaging over plastic in an effort to set a positive example..."
Not dining at The Ivy any time soon? No worries, you can pick up your very own reusable aluminum water bottle (in 144 different styles and 12 interchangeable tops) and hydrate like the stars.
