  • Thanks Calvin, I hope once Eric gets home (and showered) that he can join in on these discussions. While the North Pole leg of Save The Poles is nearly done, obviously these conversations about what we can and should be doing are ongoing.

• The Story of Bottled Water (Video)

  Sun Mar 28, 2010
  • Great video Calvin! thanks for seeding it. I often think about growing up in the 70s, I vividly remember literally pulling myself up and sticking my head under the tap to get a drink of water...we NEVER had water bottles. Or on hot summer days drinking from the hose in the yard.
