With all the controversy and outrage [4] surrounding the presence of BPA in plastic water bottles, KOR [5] has stood by its commitment to encourage individuals to stop buying disposable bottled water with its smoothly styled BPA-free water vessels. This past week they announced a limited-edition series of “Thirst for Giving [6]” bottles that feature beautiful art and provide sales proceeds to non-profits that are working to preserve the environment.
Five dollars from the sale of each Special Edition Kor bottle goes toward their Thirst for Giving [6] program, which supports select non-profits: The Algalita Marine Foundation [7], Blue Planet Run [8], The Container Recycling Institute [9] and The Wetlands Initiative [10].
“The people at KOR [5] prove that a company with a conscience can succeed in providing a durable, fashionable, high quality product that not only is good for the environment, it gives back to protecting the environment as well,” said Susan Collins of The Container Recycling Institute.
