If you’re shopping for water bottles for kids, you may have read our FAQ on CPSIA and child-safety.
If you’re still questioning why we need to put tracking information on your bottles, though, read on.
Today, 178,000 water bottles were recalled by Zak Designs. The inner plastic straw in the cap can break and pose a choking hazard. Seven children reported plastic fragments in their mouths while using these bottles.
So what does this mean for you? Continue reading
When Sasha Meyer was a high school senior in Southern California, she worked at a homeless shelter. The shelter was unable to provide enough water bottles to satisfy the needs of its clients, so Sasha decided to help.
She got plastic water bottles, wrote kind quotes and messages on them, and distributed them on her own.
Sasha wanted to continue her project when she left for college at the University of Notre Dame, so when she was a freshman she presented the idea to the University’s social impact club. They approved it, and her nonprofit organization, The Heartening, was born. Continue reading

But enough about me. Continue reading
Why are water bottle fundraisers gaining popularity in schools? The answer might have something to do with the results of a recent study from the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.
The nationwide study found that more than half of children and teenagers in the United States may not be properly hydrated, and one in four kids drink no water during the course of their day. Continue reading
I volunteered to test the Wide Mouth Collapsible Bottle because there are two design elements that stuck out when I first saw this bottle in person.
First was the lid. Most of the folding water bottles I’ve seen have simple screw on, push-pull spouts with a clear cap that pops on and off (like our Flat Water Bottle). There’s nothing wrong with those lids, but this is one you would likely find on a much more expensive bottle. Continue reading
