Well, how was your New Year’s Eve? Did you make it till the ball dropped? Or did you leave your house, brave the cold and party? To my great surprise I was awake when the ball dropped in New York and New Orleans- I know right?! A real first for me. I usually fall into a deep slumber around 8 or so on the couch. The anticipation must be too much. This year though, I ordered in, gave Sophia a bath and watched the fireworks on tv.
Anyway, in addition to my normal resolutions including some version of diet and exercise (insert eye roll here) I want to be more environmentally minded. My Christmas list included a S’well bottle and not just any S’well bottle, Rowboat Red from the shimmer collection. Let’s talk basics first. This eco friendly, plastic free bottle stays cold for 24 hrs and hot for 12, is offered in 9, 17, and 25 oz, and cleans easily with warm water and soap.
Here are the cold hard facts of the destruction caused by plastic water bottles. Just one staggering fact to mention is that 38 billion water bottles – more than $1 billion worth of plastic – are wasted each year. S’well Founder and CEO Sarah Kauss developed the brand in 2010, which is now the fastest woman-owned company in the country. Her vision and mission are laser focused- to relieve our delicate earth of plastic water bottles. Each bottle design combines function with style for all tastes and occasions, easily replacing any need for plastic bottles. S’well partners with UNICEF USA committing $800,000 since 2015 to provide clean water to vulnerable communities including Madagascar.
I am proud to carry my S’well bottle in 2018 and will continue to make everyday changes that positively impact our world. Please leave a comment and let me know your 2018 resolutions.
