mywaterbottle donating profits to support charity: water
Through the mywaterbottle campaign, we promise that we will donate part of our profits from the sale of the refillable water bottles, to support water projects in developing countries that provide clean and safe drinking water.
Last year, we supported charity: water, an international non-profit bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. charity: water works with more than 20 implementing water partners in 16 countries on water projects such as hand-dug wells, drilled wells, rehabilitations, spring protections, rainwater catchments and BioSand filters. We promised to donate S$1 for each water bottle sold.
In 2011, we sold a total of 63 bottles, so we donated a total sum of S$63 (US$49) to charity: water on 13 Jan 2012.
This year, we will continue to support charity: water and donate S$1 for each water bottle sold. If you wish to buy a Nalgene water bottle, you can visit Tree In Lodge to buy the bottles.

The Tap Water Challenge #2 – Hwa Chong Institution
We conducted our second Tap Water Challenge on 24 May at Hwa Chong Institution. 54 students were asked to taste 2 types of water (without knowing which is which) – one is tap water from the venue, the other is bottled water (Ice Mountain from Malaysia).
The results show:
41% of the students think that tap water tastes better.
33% of the students think that Ice Mountain bottled water tastes better.
26% of the students think that there is no difference in taste between tap water and Ice Mountain bottled water.
The Tap Water Challenge shows that 67% of the students prefer the taste of tap water or could not taste the difference between tap and bottled water. Why drink bottled water imported from Malaysia when you can have clean drinking water from the tap in Singapore?
