The new WaterBox promises to reduce plastic waste by utilizing renewable material to hold liquids like soda, milk, and water.
I wonder why it took so long to come up with this. Milk has been coming in this type of carton for years. It makes sense that this could be used for other drinks that come in plastic containers.
Although it still takes energy to produce these eco friendly cartons, the manufacturer boasts several green reasons to use the WaterBox as an alternative to plastic.
Transportation is efficient because cartons take up less space in shipping to the processor and to the grocery stores.
Domestically made and sourced. (Made in the USA!)
less energy
less plastic
less CO2 emissions
The entire carton is recyclable, leaving behind less plastic waste to clog up the eco system.
These cartons do not take decades to decompose, and are BPA free.
It remains to be seen if the big water bottlers will take on the new WaterBox as an way for them to be more responsible when selling us their sometimes crappy water. I still believe the safest water you can drink, is right at your kitchen sink, but if you must purchase bottled water, why not in a recyclable container?

World Water Week opens with call for global action to reduce food waste
Stockholm (2012-08-27) – Global leaders assembled today at the opening session of the 2012 World Water Week in Stockholm called for substantial increases in public and private sector investment to reduce losses of food in the supply chain, enhance water efficiency in agriculture and curb consumer waste.
Over two thousand politicians, CEOs, scientists and leaders of international organisations from more than 100 nations are gathering in Stockholm, Sweden, for the annual World Water Week, which this year focuses on “Water and Food Security”.
Today, over 900 million people suffer from hunger, and two billion more face serious health risks from undernourishment. At the same time, 1.5 billion people overeat and over one-third of all food is lost or wasted. Demand for food and fibre is projected to increase by 70 per cent by mid-century and, without intervention, untenable pressure on water resources in many regions in the world will threaten food and water security.
“More than one-fourth of all the water we use worldwide is taken to grow over one billion tons of food that nobody eats. That water, together with the billions of dollars spent to grow, ship, package and purchase the food, is sent down the drain.” said Torgny Holmgren, Executive Director of the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI).
“Reducing the waste of food is the smartest and most direct route to relieve pressure on water and land resources. It’s an opportunity we cannot afford to overlook,” he added.
In the over 100 sessions set to take place throughout the week, the convening experts will debate and showcase solutions to ensure that the planets limited water resources can meet the needs of growing economies and support a healthy global population. They will also discuss the latest innovations and successful practices to provide clean water and safe sanitation to the over two billion people who live without sustainable access to these basic services. Half of the cases of malnutrition worldwide result from illness and infection from dirty water or unhygienic sanitation.
Participants at the week will also deliberate on issues countries leasing foreign land for agricultural production, trade, human rights, climate change, and the inter-linkages between food, water and energy production. The International Water Resource Economics Consortium (IWREC) will host a Chief Economist Panel debate on how to use economic policy instruments to manage water more efficiently.
“The numbers show that agriculture is a thirsty activity. But that also means that agriculture holds the key to sustainable water use,” said José Graziano da Silva, Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). He added that investment in smallholder farmers is critical to achieve food and water security for all people.
“Throughout the world, 2.6 billion small-scale producers till the land, raise animals and fish. They are the main providers of food in the developing world. If we want them to produce more sustainably, preserving natural resources, adapting to and contributing to the mitigation of climate change, we need to help them. We cannot expect them to do it alone.”
Hey! Its World Water Day! Multipure supports many water causes. The Pure Foundation is a one stop shop for Water education. Come and celebrate with us!
Pure Foundation
Conceived by Multipure’s Executive Vice President of Administration, Jennifer Rice, the Pure Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to education, assistance, and health improvement. Through Multipure, and the Pure Foundation, she hopes to make a positive difference, and create a healthier world for the future.
Family Education
As a mother of two young children, balancing work and family life, Jennifer Rice knows the importance of drinking water, especially when it’s impossible to constantly monitor the family’s water usage. Through Multipure, she already provides better health for her family through better, cleaner water. Through the Pure Foundation, she hopes to provide that same knowledge to families everywhere, so that they can gain the benefits of cleaner, more healthful water, as well.
For families, especially those with young children, it is especially important to spread knowledge about drinking water. Children, especially very active children, require plenty of water to stay hydrated, and should generally drink water before, during, and after periods of physical activity, whether it’s competitive sports or playing with friends. Because children are still developing, their bodies may be more susceptible to biological and chemical contaminants in drinking water – contaminants that can affect learning, motor skills, and hormone development during important stages of growth*. With the education provided by the Pure Foundation, Multipure can help ensure that future generations have the knowledge and the means to drink cleaner, more healthful water, for better, healthier lives.

Disaster Relief
When natural disasters strike – hurricanes, earthquakes, or tornadoes – often one of the most crucial requirements for survivors is a source of clean water. The debris and destruction present in the wake of a catastrophe contaminates water supplies and ruins the infrastructure necessary for proper drinking water.
To help mitigate the devastation and toll caused by natural disasters, Multipure President, Zachary Rice, through the Pure Foundation, provides the company’s technical knowledge and expertise to help disaster-stricken areas obtain cleaner, safer sources of drinking water. By providing the knowledge and assistance to help ensure the availability of safe drinking water, Zachary Rice hopes to alleviate some of the hardship and disease caused by natural disasters.

Our hearts have filled with sorrow after the devastation that has hit Japan recently. We have some wonderful Multi-Pure friends in that beautiful country and we continue to worry for their welfare as they begin to rebuild their lives. Multi-Pure has been sending several hundred water filters to Japan and is thrilled to partner with Multi-Pure Japan in its distribution to the hardest hit areas.
After having already ordered people living within 12 miles of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant to evacuate, Japan is now encouraging people who live between 12 and 19 miles away to also leave the area. The newest worry is that the reactor vessel of the No. 3 unit has been damaged, possibly releasing radiation from uranium and plutonium into the atmosphere. Fears of a breach arose after workers at the No. 3 reactor were hospitalized after coming in to contact with water that was 10,000 times as radioactive as normal. The No. 1 and No. 2 reactors may also be leaking radioactive water.
Clean water is one of the most important things to secure after a disaster. Clean water gives life and hope. Multi-Pure’s mission has always been to provide safe drinking water to as many people as possible.
Water For People was founded in the 1980s. The founders have a vision of a world where everyone has access to clean, healthy water. Since its inception, supplying as much of the world as possible with clean water has become a responsibility of the water companies. Water officials from participating countries share ideas, problems and solutions. All with the ultimate goal of clean water for all.
Since they began, water for people has helped several countries. They currently have 11 counties involved in insuring a supply of clean water for all. In 2009 alone, they have helped 325,000 people have ready access to clean healthy water.

President Trump tours a Pennsylvania petrochemical plant Tuesday to highlight the U.S. energy boom. Trump claims credit for surging oil and gas production, but the trend began before he took office.
The Energy Information Administration reports the shift will probably happen by 2030, and it credits domestic natural gas production. The agency says it is watching variables such as new technology.
Saturday's large quake immediately raised suspicions that it was linked to injection wells that oil and gas companies use as part of fracking and other operations.
