Day 12 – Drink tap water in a Soulbottle…

Soulbottles is a project about making the way we consume water and  all beverages of any kind sustainable. We start by luring people into drinking more tap water by producing the most beautiful and well-designed glass water bottles. Plastic bottles and buying water in the supermarket is unnecessary and consuming a lot of resources. So drink sustainably, drink tap water in a soulbottle!

This year I have turned the soulbottles from a side into a main project by at last recruiting team members. This December we produced the first 50 soulbottles and sold nearly all of them within a week! So there is going to be a lot more to come in 2012…

For 2012, we would like to set up a running business, flesh out our business model ideas and prove that the model works. We have in plan to get some startup-funding, to involve more people and to sell at least 5000 bottles. Moreover it would be great to have four or more articles in major german-speaking newspapers. But most of all…Have a lot of fun! 🙂

Soulbottles will be sold in Hub’s Christmas Party on Tuesday 13/12 at 19.00! Be there…
