Hi everyone! Here’s a great one for us skip-a-lunchers! Purchase a limited edition bobble from www.waterbobble.com and 50% of the purchase will be donated to The Nature Conservancy. What’s a limited edition water bobble you ask? Designed by Sophia Bush, these limited edition bobbles are reusable water bottles that filter water as you drink. How cool is that? Recently Sophia Bush ran the San Francisco Marathon and managed to raise $50,000 through Crowdrise to support The Nature Conservancy. Wow. $50,000. Amazing stuff.
Why support The Nature Conservancy? Here’s their mission statement:
The mission of The Nature Conservancy is to preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive.
Check out www.waterbobble.com for more info. I should be receiving mine soon and will follow up with a review of the water bobble. The limited edition bobble is only $12 and comes in my favorite color, green! Slightly more than the cost of a lunch, but 50% of that is a donation and you walk away with a cool water bobble!
So how does it work?
Bobble has an activated carbon filter which has a slight electro-positive charge, making it attractive to chemicals and impurities. As the water passes over the positively charged carbon surface, the negative ions of the contaminants are drawn to the surface of the carbon granules.
Carbon filters require very little maintenance, and are perhaps the most powerful chemical absorbents known to man. bobble’s carbon-based filter removes organic contaminants from regular municipal tap water and meets or exceeds NSF International Standard 42 for chlorine, taste and odor reduction.
For best results we recommend changing your filter after 2 months or 40 gallons/150 litres. Filter for use with bobble only.
WARNING: Do not use where water is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
How do you use it? Simple, check out this diagram:
