I am not sure about how you feel but I love companies that are putting forth an effort to help the environment. Since joining this Arrowhead campaign I've been able to learn some great information about what Arrowhead is doing to help the environment. I am so happy to spread the message about Arrowhead's efforts to help the environment.
Arrowhead:
- Launched their ReBorn™ Bottle with 50% recycled plastic at a community event in San Francisco on America Recycles Day (November 15th)
- Arrowhead partnered with Keep California Beautiful, about 150 volunteers beautified the Fisherman’s Wharf area. Check out the great video on Arrowhead's Facebook page.
Wondering what you can do to help make a difference too?
You can:
- Recycle all of your plastic bottles to help Arrowhead get more recycled plastic to make their ReBorn™ Bottles.
- Drink more Arrowhead water which is from bottles made of recycled plastic.
- Visit Arrowhead's Facebook page and show them some love for what they are doing to help the environment. You can watch a video, Tweet or share on Facebook about what Arrowhead is doing or even thank them for the efforts they are making.
It would be great if recycling efforts in America could ramp up as this just helps everyone in the long run. Please see the Infographic below and see just how much room for improvement we have.

Today I am sharing something that I feel is so important for all of us to participate in and that would be recycling. You see recycling and I go way back, I can remember collecting stacks and stack of newspapers with my dad and taking them to the recycling center. I don't remember if we got much money for doing it but it was something I did with my dad and it was kind of fun. Fast forward about 40 years later and I am still into recycling. I am lucky to live in a community where we have three separate trash cans, one of traditional waste, one for yard or plant clippings and one for recycling. This certainly makes the process much easier. I am not sure how widespread this type of system is but I would love to hear what you think. I do keep my bottles and cans separate and take them to a local recycling center and make a little cash.
Here are some startling facts about recycling:
1. U.S. plastic beverage bottle recycling rates are only at about 30%
2. 2.8 Billion plastic bottles ended up in California landfills in 2011
3. Even though a package says it is “100% recycleABLE”, that does not mean it is made with recyclED plastic. It just means it CAN BE recycled. In fact, most containers are not made of recycled plastic.
Check out the great Infographic, it paints a clear picture of just how bad the recycling problem is in the US.
Here are some facts about Arrowhead's ReBorn Bottles
1. Arrowhead’s new ReBorn™ bottle is made with 50% recycled plastic and demonstrates how the plastic you recycle can be given a new life.
2. Due to the limited supply of high quality recycled plastic, we need your help in recycling so companies like Arrowhead® 100% Mountain Spring Water can use more recycled plastic in our products!

It is wonderful to know that companies are doing their part for the environment! I drive my husband crazy when I tell him not to put certain things in the trash because they are recyclable. How do you feel about recycling? Do you have any recycling centers close to you where you take recycling products.
