Cindy Crawford is a long-time supporter of the safe water bottles produced by SIGG. Now she's joined forces with SIGG and Pur to raise money for the Children's Safe Drinking Water, a program devoted to solving the problem of water-related diseases in developing countries.
Cindy has designed a special edition "Thirsty for Change" SIGG bottle, of which all proceeds will be donated to Children's Safe Drinking Water. This will provide someone in need with 450 liters of clean drinking water - or in easier to understand terms, enough clean drinking water to last one children seven-and-a-half months! That's a pretty sweet deal considering you'll also be giving yourself the gift of a safe, non-toxic (as in no bisphenol A) water bottle.
Cindy is also promoting Pur's water filtration system, which can supposedly save a consumer $600 a year because it only costs one-tenth of what bottled water does.
So to sum up: You purchase a SIGG bottle and maybe even the PUR filtration system. The money raised from the bottle purchase will supply someone in need with clean drinking water. In return, you'll not only have that warm, fuzzy feeling from doing something good for someone else, you'll also have a safe water bottle to drink from and a new filtration system to provide you with water that can compete with your precious bottled water. Except when you put it in your new bottle, you'll be preventing plastic bottles from ending up in landfills. Sounds like a pretty good deal, no?
