Contestant's Case to Win

Project Earth H2o - Our Earth, Our Water!

Although 70% of our planet is covered in water, few are aware that only 2.6% of it is fresh-drinkable water. We use fresh-water for just about everything in our daily lives, hydrating our bodies, showering, doing laundry, washing dishes, watering our lawns, and yes, even flushing our toilets. The list goes on and on. There is just one very big problem, we are running out! In 2008, the United Nations issued a report stating that by the year 2025, sixteen-years from now, over two-thirds of our planet will not have enough fresh water for basic life. Fresh-water is the most valuable commodity on our planet; more valuable than oil.

Every single day in the US alone over 70 million single-use water bottles are sold. Nine out of ten of these bottles end up in the trash and over 40 billion make their way into our national landfills and waterways each year leaching toxins into our planet and oceans. What is in these bottles that is so special? Close to 50% of the time it is regular tap water sold back to us at 1000% more than the actual cost. Fact: Almost half of all bottled water is just tap water obtained from the same public water source we get our home water. Fact: Bottled water is NO SAFER than tap water.

So, what's the difference between tap water and bottled water? There are no real differences in water quality. However, there are few differences that we believe are important. Here are just two: You can fill an 8oz glass with filtered tap water from your home over 15,000 times and it will still cost less than buying a 12 pack of bottled water. 2) Every year in the US alone, over 17 million barrels of oil are wasted to make plastic water bottles that are used only once. To put that amount in perspective, that is the same amount of oil it takes to power over 1 million vehicles for an entire year.

Our Mission:

Project Earth H2o is not just another water bottle provider, we are a true environmental company focused on driving awareness and creating positive, sustainable changes to our environment, health, and economy.

Our Goal:

Project Earth H2o’s goal is to drive awareness to the profound negative environmental, economic, and health related issues created with the production, transportation, and selling of single-use bottled water. We are creating a collective of healthy and environmentally savvy consumers who are making a positive difference just by purchasing. We do this by driving awareness and...

1. Providing safe, Eco-friendly, 100% recyclable, high-grade, reusable stainless steel water bottles.

2. Donating $2.00 of every Ocean, Earth & Air bottle to non-profit environmental & humanitarian charities focused on preserving our planet.

3. Donating $2.00 of every Get Pinkâ„¢ Bottle to breast cancer research.

4. Reducing the massive oil waste, unnecessary burning of fossil fuels, excessive plastic and water waste, and consumer demand that drives continued production.

Rather than buying bottled water, fill a safe, Project Earth H2o stainless steel, reusable water bottle with filtered tap water from your home. By making this simple adjustment in behavior, You will not only save anywhere from $300's to $3,000 every year, but you will also be doing a huge service to yourself, to our children, and to our planet.
