My first attempt - Sigg Water Bottles


Carrying a reusable water bottle is a great way to get started on a path to greendom. It reduces landfill waste and in general avoiding plastics is a great way to begin thinking about being more green. I need to put in a plug for San Francisco and pushing an iniative to ban plastic bags in grocery stores as a testament to smarter thinking about our lifestyle.

Back to my water drinking, I initially started using a Nalgene bottle, however, have switched to Sigg Sports Bottles. They are not only made with recyclable aluminum, but look way more stylish. Despite the metal look, they are very lightweight. I recommend the 0.6L size for general use as it will work with most cup holders and will fit easily in most bags.

I came across your blog and thought you might be interested in a new contest we are running with SIGG, called SIGGART Design Contest, which aims to find the next great Eco-Friendly design for their one-of-a-kind reusable and recyclable customized bottles.

A percentage of sales from the winning bottle will go to a non-profit organization called Surf Riders, which fights to keep our oceans and beaches clean.

The contest asks you to design a concept based on your personal “Eco-Style,” to design a SIGG bottle that represents your eco-outlook on life.

The winner’s bottle will be produced by SIGG in time for this year’s holiday season and sold exclusively at Patagonia and on http://www.MySIGG.com. The winner will also receive 100 bottles with his or her design to share with friends and colleagues.

I hope you can share this opportunity with your friends and your readers, and invite anyone interested to participate in the contest.

The contest will run through June 1st and is hosted at http://www.MySIGG.com/SIGGART.

If you have any questions, just email us at siggart(@)sigg.com and we’ll be happy to help.

Thank you,
Marina
