Did you know that the average family in the developing world spends over $1,000 dollars each year on bottled water? (About $83.00 a month!)
The annual cost per family for tap water is less than $30.00.
Last year Americans alone spent more money on bottled water than Ipods or movies totaling $15 billion.
The world spends $100 billion on water bottles every year.
To bring potable water to the entire world would cost $30 million.
That's less than a third of the amount currently being spent on water bottles.
So what can we do about it?
Give up the plastic bottle and spend the $25.00 you would have spent on something that really matters. Clean Water!!! This may not be radical but it's a step in the right direction. From here, who knows where we'll end up? Losing the convenience of the water bottle can serve as a reminder of what we can do to change the world for Christ!
When you make your first $25.00 donation, we'll send you a free stainless steel bottle that you can fill with your own water. It has no plastic and has no BPA's so it's better for your health and better for the earth.
That's it!!! A simple solution to a BIG problem.
Are
you ready to do something about it?
