Online-Sweepstakes.comCoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ OtterBottle.ca Insulated Tote Review & Giveaway!!CLOSED
Posted on December 15th, 2010 by roxxyroller in Giveaways Canada.
You all pretty much know by now how much saving the Environment means to me, and finding eco-friendly companies is extremely important to me!
I was delightfully overwhelmed when I stumbled across all of the eco-friendly products that OtterBottle.ca carries!!
We are now hearing it every where – the reasons to go eco-friendly, green products, save the environment and recycle. But what does it all really mean and why do we need to become more eco friendly?
One obvious reason is so that we can save our planet. Just thinking about the enormous stash of plastic bottles that are thrown away every year which cannot disintegrate into the land.
Another big thing is Saving animals from extinction! So many of the various breeds of animals and insects and all manner of living creatures are becoming threatened because of our habits.
And thirdly, Greener, environmentally friendly products are much more kinder to our own health!
With that being said, OtterBottle is certainly a Canadian Green company who contributes greatly to the well being of ourselves, the environment, as well as the safety of our animals!
By recycling we can save energy, land space, money, and at the same time creating new jobs, reduce air and water pollution and keep our forest green. Just a little bit of everyone’s help can be a big thing!
By recycling, our home’s can be clean and we can reuse the same stuff again, and it can save us a lot of money each year.
By working together, we can save our planet and keep it greener.
About OtterBottle, a blurb from their website:
“Since a very young age, Shannon Andrukow has been a health enthusiast and environmentalist keen on preserving the planet for her family and future generations. Advocating the importance of small steps to saving the environment to friends and family (reducing consumerism, reusing products and avoiding perishable ones, driving less, recycling, turning out lights, reducing water use, seeking renewable energy sources, encouraging green products for the household, buying local, and so on), Andrukow has always prided herself on her dedication to helping Mother Earth.
After having kids, she became even more health-conscious and her inner-environmentalist emerged in full force. Andrukow had been researching Bisphenol A (BPA) for a number of years (long before Health Canada’s announcement to ban BPA) and after testing a couple of “sustainable” water bottles Shannon found that she was not satisfied with the look and performance of those bottles. Always a major proponent of reusable containers, the options for a safe and stylish bottle at the time were extremely limited.
Shannon’s eco-chic diva surfaced and she not only wanted to make a difference but she also wanted a bottle that spoke to her individual style. Not to mention that she also wanted to purchase from a Canadian company that supported our environment – something that was harder to do than she thought it would be! There was no such company out there, so she decided to make it her personal mission to create one.
She finally decided to create OtterBottle Inc. when she explored the idea with her husband and good friends. Her close friend provided her with the final nudge that she needed by encouraging her to proceed with the thought of starting a company that addressed all her concerns.
Andrukow developed Otterbottle Inc.– the name was born out of her desire to find a name that represented something pure, healthy and, of course, Canadian. The otter, an animal that lives in the water that we all need to protect, was a perfect fit. What better than to have a company name that is virtually impossible to forget!
For Shannon, founding OtterBottle Inc. has allowed her to do what she loves most in life; spend her days at home with her kids and make a difference for the earth that she wants to preserve.”
I was sent to review one of their wonderful new Insulated Tote Bags — no more using aimless amount of plastic bags! They are intended to be reused repeatedly to replace the use of hundreds of HDPE plastic bags.
Practical, Collapsible, Compact and Reusable — Shopping and Reusable Insulated Tote Bags are stylishly durable and come in a variety of colourful multi-patterns and designs.
