Challenging the conventions of traditional plastic bottled water, h20's aseptic paper packaging looks like a sleek bottle of the future, offering consumers one of the most environmentally friendly beverage solutions available. Made mostly from paper, instead of plastic, h20 bottles use less energy in their production and shipping, and can be recycled in a process called hydra pulping. h20 natural spring water comes from the pristine Niagara Escarpment in Canada.
"As a mom, I felt there must be an alternative way to enjoy bottled water "on the go" without leaving behind mountains of plastic bottles for future generations," said h20 founder and president, Julie Atherton.
It's not just Hollywood, retailers are taking notice of h20 and the partnership with RANGO has helped propel the new brand onto shelves at major grocery retailers like Meijer, Super K-Mart and online at Amazon.com and Alice.com.

About "Rango"
From the director of "The Pirates of the Caribbean" comes RANGO, featuring Johnny Depp in an original animated comedy-adventure that takes moviegoers for a hilarious and heartfelt walk in the Wild West. The story follows the comical, transformative journey of Rango (Depp), a sheltered chameleon living as an ordinary family pet, while facing a major identity crisis. After all, how high can you aim when your whole purpose in life is to blend in? When Rango accidentally winds up in the gritty, gun-slinging town of Dirt - a lawless outpost populated by the desert's most wily and whimsical creatures - the less-than-courageous lizard suddenly finds he stands out. Welcomed as the last hope the town has been waiting for, new Sheriff Rango is forced to play his new role to the hilt . . . until, in a blaze of action-packed situations and encounters with outrageous characters, Rango starts to become the hero he once only pretended to be. With a cast that includes Depp, Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin, Alfred Molina, Bill Nighy, Harry Dean Stanton, Ray Winstone and Timothy Olyphant as the Spirit of the West, Rango is an exciting new twist on the classic Western legend of the outsider who saves a town - and himself in the process.
