Irrigation Channels outside of Cairo, Egypt

On the Beach in Ventura, CA

In the Fountains of Madrid, Spain

On the Streets of New Orleans, LA

Water bottles, the annoying plastic vessels that seem to be invading our world have got my attention.
On vacation in Orlando a few weeks ago, I became increasingly frustrated at the lack of recycling options provided in our resort. With nowhere to recycle the 15 or so bottles that we had accumulated between the airport and our first day at the resort, I brought them with me to the home of a close friend who’d invited us for dinner on New Year’s Eve. I was dismayed to learn that neither my friend nor our resort participated in any type of recycling programs.

Thankfully, I’d brought a few aluminum bottles which we put to good use for the duration of our trip.
This difficulty led me to recall some of the photos I’d taken during previous travels when I became equally frustrated with this pesky plastic packaging that contained such a vital fluid. I’ve seen the impact of the bottles of water choking the irrigation channels outside of Cairo, to the beaches of Ventura, California. I’ve been disgusted at the trash and floating bottles in the fountains of Madrid, and on the streets of New Orleans. There seems little left untouched by this bothersome bottle blight.

Considering the situation, I am thrilled to announce our partnership with rethread, a graphic design firm with a mission. Their creative and stylish designs have a message worthy of wearing!

Enough said?
