Every year, Make a Difference Day reminds us to step up and do something good for our communities and our planet. But what if we could make a difference every single day — simply by changing the way we drink water?
That’s the power of switching to a bottleless water cooler.
Meet Dominique and Her Kids
Our amazing sales rep, Dominique, recently took her kids out to clean up a neighborhood waterway, and what they found was shocking. Plastic water bottles were everywhere, tangled in the grass, floating in the stream, and stuck in the mud.
It was a hands-on lesson for her kids about just how much waste one small habit, like grabbing a single-use plastic bottle can create. But it was also a reminder of why what we do at Optimum Water Solutions matters so much.
Dominique doesn’t just make a difference on Make a Difference Day, she does it every day by helping families and businesses ditch plastic bottles and switch to clean, sustainable water solutions.
The Plastic Water Bottle Problem
Globally, an estimated 19 to 23 million tons of plastic waste leak into aquatic ecosystems each year, flowing into our lakes, rivers, and seas. In the United States alone, approximately 35 billion plastic water bottles are discarded annually, and only about 12% of them are recycled. According to the Ocean Conservancy, plastic bottles and their caps are among the most common items found during shoreline and waterway cleanups, contributing to pollution that harms wildlife and degrades water quality.
When workplaces, community centers, or offices rely on single-use plastic bottles, they unknowingly contribute to this growing issue. The good news is there’s a better, more sustainable option: switching to a bottleless water cooler to reduce waste and protect our planet.
Why a Bottleless Water Cooler Makes a Difference
Switching to a bottleless system is a smart, practical step toward daily sustainability. Here’s how:
- Eliminate the plastic bottles: No more 5-gallon jugs, no more single-use plastic bottles, just on-site purification and dispensing.
- Lower your plastic footprint: Each bottle you avoid removes one more item from potential landfill or waterway leakage.
- Create a culture of sustainability: When you install a bottleless cooler in your office, you send the message that clean water and clean environment go hand in hand.
- Sustainability every day: The impact isn’t just for one event, it’s for every refill, every meeting, every office day.
Make today count but commit to something more meaningful: choose every-day impact.
Start with your office hydration. Talk to your facility manager or decision-maker about transitioning to a bottleless water cooler. Invite your team to join Dominique in making a habit, not just a moment. Because the planet doesn’t need just one day of good intent. It needs countless days of better choices. And you can make one of them right now.
Ready to take the next step? Let’s ditch the plastic bottles and embrace a bottleless water cooler for cleaner water, cleaner offices and cleaner waterways. Clearly. Pure. Water.
