The Box Rocks

Oh my.  This is appealing in so many ways.  Water in a box, otherwise known as Boxed Water Is Better is a brilliant little Michigan start up company that's getting a lot of buzz throughout blogland.  Boxed Water containers are made from 90% renewable resources and responsibly shipped flat to the filler at 1/5 of the carbon footprint used to truck empty plastic and glass bottles.  Of course the cartons are completely recyclable and the company has a give back policy of donating 20%  of their profits back to their resource - water and trees. 

Smart. Simple. So cool.  The only question is: why is this only available in Michigan? 

Check it out here and call your Whole Foods/Trader Joe's to spread the word.  We like the box!  reFRESH
