This is an archived blog from when I ran Conscious Public Relations Inc. from 2008-2018. Excuse the potential outdated-ness!
The other day at the Food Talks Vancouver event I spoke with an acquaintance about Conscious PR who told me I should look up the “We Love Van” water bottles. I was thinking of another style of glass or filtered water bottles, but nope — these are the good old plastic water bottles.
The difference with these guys is that they make an effort to bottle in 100% post consumer recycled plastic. It’s not the best, but it’s something. And more importantly, 10 cents per bottle goes to the Vancouver Lookout Society, which provides housing to the homeless.
A simple idea – not so simple to execute – but for a simple cause. Water is free of course, and you best be carrying it in whatever container you can… but if you HAD to go bottled, this would be a good choice. Think about events that sell water bottles. You could be doing good, and be seen to be doing good.
