Boxed Water is Better
Published: Everywun’s Daily Good Newsletter
Step outside the box and check out, Boxed Water is Better, a bottled water competitor that’s making waves – thanks to its innovative eco-friendly packaging!
Boxed Water is Better uses paper from a certified managed forest in which harvested trees are replaced with newly planted ones. It also uses flat containers that only takes up 5% of 1 truckload, and can be flattened and recycled. This is in comparison to the average water-bottle company which uses oftentimes un-recycled plastic that is not biodegradable and is not efficiently transported.
The creators of Boxed Water is Better care so much about giving back, that 10% of their profit is donated to reforestation foundations and another 10% to the world water relief foundations. So get out of the vicious water bottle circle and get squared away with Boxed Water is Better!

Dr. Robert Bullard has dedicated his life to educating the public about environmental injustices and working toward prevention. Environmental Injustice is the idea that all communities have the right to equal protection of our environment, housing, transportation and health.
Dr. Bullard works at getting urban, low-income, working-class populations of color to find green jobs. He also works to get governments to find more sustainable energy solutions, including cleaner public transportation and other energy efficient solutions.
So what does Dr. Bullard think that we can do?
“I think it is important that everyone understands that there is always something you can do to help and to get involved; whether it is in your immediate community organization, your church or your faith-based organization. You can join and volunteer”.
