Cause: Today 1 billion people do not have access to safe and clean drinking water
WWW is a campaign with a goal to unite the hospitality and tourism industry on a non-competitive platform to provide universal access to safe drinking water while reducing the environmental impact to our planet by eliminating plastic waste and the unnecessary shipping of bottles over long distances
How: companies participate by filtering their own water using a sustainable, on-site water program (such as Vivreau) and contribute10% of their proceeds to the WWW Fund
The Fund disseminates the monies directly to charitable water organizations around the world
Celebrity endorsers such as Richard Branson, Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton
Eg of companies involved: Tao Restaurant Group, Necker Island, Auberge Resorts

VIVREAU WATER PROGRAMS CAN BE A SPRINGBOARD TO CHARITABLE INITIATIVES
VIVREAU water programs allow for all kinds of charitable benefits
Clients can tie their sustainable bottled water program to a cause that is important to them
Bottles are the perfect vehicle to communicate the message to clients and guests
Example: A well known restaurant chain in Canada ties its proceeds from Vivreau bottled water sales to a charity that provides clean drinking water to those in need
Example: A sushi chain tied its VIVREAU bottled water program to Japan tsunami relief by donating proceeds from sales of bottled water to the Red Cross
Americans use roughly between 50-60 billion plastic water bottles/year*
Only 23% of those are recycled* Leaving approx. 38 Billion in landfills
Plastic bottles can take over 1000 years to decompose***
Estimated that 3 liters of water is used to package 1 liter of bottled water****
