College Student’s Nonprofit: Buy a Water Bottle, Give a Water Bottle

September 11, 2015Plastics NewsCool KidsBulletin Bottle

When Sasha Meyer was a high school senior in Southern California, she worked at a homeless shelter. The shelter was unable to provide enough water bottles to satisfy the needs of its clients, so Sasha decided to help.

She got plastic water bottles, wrote kind quotes and messages on them, and distributed them on her own.

Sasha wanted to continue her project when she left for college at the University of Notre Dame, so when she was a freshman she presented the idea to the University’s social impact club. They approved it, and her nonprofit organization, The Heartening, was born. Continue reading →

Kick the Soda Habit? Start With the Right Bottle (Really!)

July 23, 2015Bulletin Bottle Products, Reusable Water Bottle TipsTritan BottlesBulletin Bottle

I’ve been at Bulletin Bottle since the beginning, and since I only drink water and iced coffee during the day, it didn’t take long for me to figure out that flip up straws, large capacities, and Tritan water bottles are my faves.

This is because 1) I’m too lazy to unscrew a bottle, 2) I drink a lot of water, and 3) I tend to drop things.

But enough about me. Continue reading →

July 15, 2015Promotion IdeasFundraisers, Nonprofits, SchoolsBulletin Bottle

Why are water bottle fundraisers gaining popularity in schools? The answer might have something to do with the results of a recent study from the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.

The nationwide study found that more than half of children and teenagers in the United States may not be properly hydrated, and one in four kids drink no water during the course of their day. Continue reading →

May 12, 2015Bulletin Bottle Products, Promotion Ideas, Staff ReviewsBPA-Free BottlesBulletin Bottle

I volunteered to test the Wide Mouth Collapsible Bottle because there are two design elements that stuck out when I first saw this bottle in person.

First was the lid. Most of the folding water bottles I’ve seen have simple screw on, push-pull spouts with a clear cap that pops on and off (like our Flat Water Bottle). There’s nothing wrong with those lids, but this is one you would likely find on a much more expensive bottle. Continue reading →

Reusable Water Bottle Fill Stations: San Francisco Businesses Join Forces

February 20, 2015Plastic Bottle Bans, Plastics NewsEnvironmental, Plastics ReductionBulletin Bottle

SFO Bottle filler Last year, San Francisco strengthened its eco-conscious stance by passing an ordinance banning the sale of plastic water bottles on city-owned property. The measure, dovetailed with the city’s plastic bag ban, takes aim at single-use plastics in the city.

We’re actually not sure why anyone would opt out of using a reusable water bottle, as San Francisco has some of the best water in the world. It originates from pristine snowmelt in Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite National Park. Unlike bottled water, the city’s tap water costs less than half a penny per gallon, is quality tested over 100,000 times a year, and goes straight to the tap!
