Why should you reduce your carbon footprint? Since the beginning of time the presence of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere has been necessary to warm the earth. However, the more we have progressed in technology, the more energy we use on a regular basis. The activities that we take part in that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere are what make up our carbon footprint. Now there is an argument for too much of a good thing. We need the carbon dioxide to keep everything from freezing, but it has become necessary to moderate the amount we emit so that we can do our part to suppress global warming.
Many of us have listened to endless political debates over what is causing climate change but thus far we have not seen much action towards alleviating the problem. The other night I was able to tune into The Vice Presidential Debate for a bit and when asked about climate change and energy efficiency, Sarah Palin’s response really got me thinking. She had a complete disinterest in wasting time debating why the problem existed but was more concerned about coming up with a solution. (More Info…) Going along with that principle, I am more interested in taking initiative and doing my part to positively affect the climate crisis than waiting around for a bunch of politicians in D.C. to come up with a plan they can agree on implementing. We should be Proactive, not passive, but how? At Reduce we make it simple to reduce your carbon footprint in everyday life. All of our products provide for a more energy efficient lifestyle; from our WaterWeek Reusable Bottles to my personal favorite, the BAGit Trash Can. Take a look at our products and see how easily you can become part of a proactive solution to climate change.

The average American household spends hundreds of dollars each year buying bottled water. If these families were to fill reusable bottles with their own filtered tap water, they could save an average of at least $500 per year and help reduce the nearly 200 million pounds of plastics waste… Click to read the full WaterWeek press release.

I confess, I’m frequently on the lookout for great-looking water bottles. I love drinking water… Click here to read how one WaterWeek user LOVES to reduce by using her new WaterWeek bottles!
Basebrands would like to thank “Green Unlimited” for their glowing report on WaterWeek. It is exciting to think of the endless possibilities as we all join together to REDUCE!

One day I read some startling statistics about how wasteful we Americans can be. As I thought about my own lifestyle, I wondered what I could do differently.
That’s how I came up with the concept for ReduceTM. I wanted to make it convenient, affordable and “cool” to be eco-friendly every day. Like most of you, I spend most of time at home or at work, so I started to brainstorm some ideas about new ways to reduce waste in these two places.
The idea for WaterWeek came to me as I thought about how many plastic bottles are sitting in landfills because people don’t make time to recycle. We know what we should be doing, but we’re not doing it. Why? Primarily because it’s not convenient.
With WaterWeek, you make a one-time purchase and re-use your water bottles as often as you’d like. When I tell people about this solution they “get it” and want one for themselves. It’s easy to use and we’ve got some great colors and patterns you’ll love. Let’s reduce bottles together!
What has been your motivation to “go green”?
