Recently San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom banned water bottles at City Office, the US Conference of Mayors pass a resolution calling for a study of the negative environmental impact of bottled water and praising the high quality of municipal tap water. Pepsico is forced to put Source labels on Aquafina, award-winning writer Charles Fishman writes that the bottled water habit is a shameful American indulgence.
All this has prompted the bottled water industry to fight back, taking out full page ads to defend their stance.

I was reading this post and I thought you might be interested in this:
2008 marks the centennial anniversary of the founding of SIGG, the maker of eco-friendly Swiss water bottles. In order to celebrate this momentous occasion, we have launched a website, http://www.SIGG100.com.
There you’ll find an “Eco-Quiz” to check your eco-logic, the opportunity to enter to win a trip to Hawaii, and great moments in eco-history. The SIGG100 site will also enable visitors to “chat” with some of our eco-minded folks, like: Laurie David, Zem Joaquin, Simran Sethi, Christopher Gavigan, and Ed Begley Jr.
If you like the site, we’d love for you to give it a link or mention in
your blog! We’d be happy to give you a reciprocal link. If you’d like more information regarding either SIGG’s 100 yr site, or just about SIGG in general, just send us a line–we’re happy to help out.
