The most popular mode Americans currently employ to obtain clean drinking water, with single-use plastic water bottles, has a hefty price tag attached to it. Americans annually spend over $15 billion on bottled water. Environmentally, the costs are greater. Almost 1.5 billion barrels of oil alone are used to make these bottles, and only a meager 10 percent of them will eventually be recycled. The remaining 90 percent end up in landfills, ocean garbage patches, or as litter -- which costs America millions of dollars annually to clean up and wreaks continuing havoc on the environment.  

Enter bobble -- a "fashion meets function" patented bottle that filters water as you drink. Made in the USA from recyclable materials, this reusable bottle removes chlorine and organic contaminants from municipal tap water.  While you are enjoying this fresh-tasting, clean drinking water, you're also drastically decreasing the amount of plastic that ends up as waste since a single bobble filter equates to at least 300 single-use bottles.

World Water Day was established in 1993 by the United Nations with the aim to draw public focus to the world's water resources and to promote clean water. The theme in 2010 is "Clean Water for a Healthy Planet." Bobble fulfills this call to action by providing Americans with a simple solution: its filtration system provides clean drinking water, and its reusable design helps to reduce waste to improve the planet's health.    

"At bobble, our aim is to make water better," says Richard Smiedt, founder, Move Collective, LLC. "World Water Day serves as an important reminder that Americans, unlike many others in the world, have a choice when it comes to obtaining clean drinking water, and more importantly, the ability to make a sustainable choice."

Bobble is available in April from multiple retail outlets, including JC Penney and many others in the months ahead for a suggested retail price of $9.95. It can also be purchased online, at www.waterbobble.com.
