Faucet Face

Did you know each time you drink from a plastic water bottle, there’s a chance you’re ingesting things like estrogenic compounds? That’s because plastic water bottles have been shown to leach chemicals into the water. As if that’s not bad enough, plastic bottles fill up landfills and the transportation of water bottles causes needless production of CO2 – making them as bad for the planet as they are for us.

Glass bottles, on the other hand, won’t leach any weird chemicals and are reusable. By using glass bottles, you’ll save money on bottled water and save your body from harmful chemicals. Faucet Face is an environmentally friendly company that provides stylish and eco-friendly glass water bottles. Through their glass bottles, they promote tap water and face the fight against bottled water waste – protecting both the planet and people. Faucet Face bottles have been tested to ensure they are devoid of BPA and lead and cadmium leaching.

Their water conservation efforts are aimed at encouraging consumers to return to public water sources. Their Hose Water, Tap is Terrific, and Hummingbird Feeder illustrations are designed to start people talking about water issues as a whole.

In an interview with OrganicConnections, Faucet Face founder Mason Gentry explains, “The idea is that you walk out during your lunch hour and you have your ‘Tap is Terrific’ bottle, and it starts the conversation about tap water and the wastefulness of bottled water.”

Faucet Face is an environmentally friendly company that gives back in more ways than one. Through its 1 for 100 program, Faucet Face donates 2.5% of ALL sales of their classic water bottles, PLUS, a complete filter for each sale of 5 or more individual bottles to the clean drinking water charity Third Millennium Awakening (TMA). By doing so, they help ensure that a family in India has access to clean, safe drinking water.

Without a safe water source, many residents in India are forced to use nearby river and surface water. This water is often contaminated with worms, parasites and bacteria. It causes dysentery, cholera, and diarrhea. In India diarrhea alone causes more than 1,600 deaths a day, many of which are children under five years old.

Faucet Face believes BioSand Filters can help create a long term sustainable water sources for these residents. The filter houses several layers of sand which trap and eliminates impurities from the water. With Faucet Face’s contribution, TMA employs locals in India to create the filters and then distribute them to families in need.

Support this environmentally friendly company with their efforts to promote tap water, reduce plastic bottle waste, and provide residents in India with clean water. With Faucet Face, one glass bottle can make a big difference!
