Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program & PUR Pitcher Giveaway

Here’s another item I received an email about while I was on vacation…

Congratulations to Emily (Comment #7). You have 48 hours to respond to my email!

PUR, the makers of water filtration systems, is partnering with the Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program (CSDW) to provide clean drinking water to those in need.

Approximately 4,000 children in developing countries die each day from illness and disease that is linked to unsafe drinking water.

On January 7, PUR joined the “Summit on the Summit” (SOTS), a celebrity climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro featuring Jessica Biel, Alexandra Cousteau and others. SOTS will raise awareness and funds for clean drinking water efforts. View a video of Jessica Biel on a Village Visit before the Summit.

Dr. Greg Allgood, Founder and Director of CSDW, will be joining the climb as the water authority, educating the climbers on the global water crisis and what is being done to help.

Here’s one way to help:

For each PUR system that is purchased, PUR will provide 10 liters of clean drinking water to children in the developing world through the CSDW Program. CSDW has already provided 1.8 billion liters of clean water to children and their families around the world.

Your PUR system(s) will remove many of the common contaminants found in drinking water, including:
- 94% of atrazine
- 98% of lead and other metals
- 99.9% of microbial cysts
- 96-99% of pharmaceuticals

And you will save up to $600 a year on bottled water (not to mention reducing and/or eliminating plastic bottle waste).

Want to win a PUR Pitcher?

PUR has provided one pitcher to give to a lucky reader. If you would like to enter this giveaway, please leave a comment below stating how many plastic water bottles you estimate you would no longer use if you had a PUR Pitcher.

This giveaway is open until Friday, January 15 at 9PM Central. After that time, I will use Random.org to select the winner from all of the comments on this post. I will email the winner, who will have 48 hours to respond or else I will select a new winner.

Good luck!

Disclaimer: In exchange for this blog post, I am receiving one PUR Water Pitcher that will be given away to one lucky reader. No other compensation was provided for this post.

    We usually use refillable bottle of our own, so I guess we’d save only about 8 bottled water plastic bottles a month.

    My wife is a big bottle water user…I’m trying to wean her off of them but it has been a long journey. If I won, I would make sure she doesn’t use any more bottles of water. I’d estimate that she drinks 7 a week. That’d be 28-30 per month. Wow…I never thought about that!
