Summer is the most popular time to go on vacation. Many of these trips will require hopping on a plane and rushing through the airport. Everyone knows that staying hydrated is important when traveling, but this isn't always easy.
As airports have increased security and tightened TSA regulations over the last few years, passengers have become accustomed to ditching their water bottles before passing through security and purchasing a new bottle once they pass through.
This habit is not only frustrating for passengers, it is also costly – each bottle costs about $1, and at the airport even more – as well as environmentally unfriendly. On average, 30 billion bottles of water are purchased annually. Shockingly, less than 14% are recycled and 26 billion bottles are sent to landfills or incinerated each year.
The solution is simple – switch to a re-useable bottle with a filter that can be safely taken through security and provides portable access to pure water without the cost or waste of throw-away bottles. Just launched, the Wellness H2.O water bottle’s micro-filtration cartridge uses organic coconut carbon to eliminate 99% of toxins in water. After water is filtered, the system uses magnetite and Japanese volcanic minerals to actually improve water, making it more hydrating, which is extra important when flying.
The Wellness H2.O water bottle costs $49.95 at endbottledwater.com, and can replace about 1,000 water bottles and save passengers $1,000 each year.

Holiday cards for a cause
Posted by Anga Labels: cancer, cards, charity, Christmas, holidays, philanthropy, stationary, women
Make the holidays special this year with The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF), whose mission is to fund research to find a method of early detection and ultimately a cure for ovarian cancer, the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers. OCRF has created a beautifully designed set of four holiday cards (Joy, Happy Holidays, Peace, Seasons Greetings) that will be available this year for purchase at www.ocrf.org/shop. 100% of the proceeds will benefit OCRF.

About Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States. The American Cancer Society estimates that over 22,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the U.S. in 2008 and about 15,520 women will die from it. If ovarian cancer is detected in early stages (before it has spread outside the ovary), treatment is often very successful, with five-year survival rates of about 92 percent. However, less than 20 percent of the cancers are detected in early stages. Thus, the average five-year survival rate is just 45 percent. The deaths compared to those who are diagnosed are staggering but we can do something to change this.
About the Cards
Cards measure 5"x7". Inside inscriptions (left to right):
"Happy holiday kissses", "Enjoy the wonder and cheer of the season.", "Warm wishes for the New Year.", "Wishing you peace, joy and warm fuzzies this holiday season."
