Over 22 billion individual water bottles end up in the landfill each year. That’s why reusing your water bottle is so important, as it saves space in the landfill. More importantly, manufacturing water bottles for one year takes 1.5 billion barrels of oil! Foreign dependence on oil is a major issue in the United States today. By reusing your water bottles, you will make a difference!
In 2007, two college roommates, John Hamlin and Dereck Van Dyke, started their company, Green Benefits. Their goal is to make it simple for people to go green. Their headquarters are in Seattle; however, because of the range the Web offers, their clients are from all over the United States.
Green Benefits has various types of green fundraising solutions, but one of their most popular is the Water Bottle Fundraiser. This is an especially profitable fundraiser at sporting events or team sports games. Essentially, it accomplishes two goals: to reduce plastic consumption and to raise money for your organization’s cause.
The water bottles are made out of stainless steel, aluminum, or even reusable, PBA-free plastic so you can reuse the bottle again and again. There is an assortment of water bottles from which to choose. In addition, many of the water bottles are customizable and can be imprinted with the logo of your cause.
Green Benefits specializes in customizing stainless steel water bottles and other eco-promotions for fundraisers. All the products, including the clothing which is made from organic cotton, are eco-friendly.
Green Benefits believes the way to integrate the Green Revolution into the mainstream is at the individual basis. By providing products for the Water Bottle Fundraiser, more eco-friendly water bottles will be part of the mainstream, and profits will be earned from the fundraiser.
