Spectrum Water Coolers Provides the Environmentally Friendly Alternative to Bottled Water

22/08/07 Spectrum Water Coolers, Inc unveiled a new web site, http://www.SpectrumWaterCoolers.com, to handle demand from consumers who want an environmentally friendly alternative to bottled water.

Recently, the U.S. conference of mayors adopted a resolution calling attention to the negative environmental impact of bottled water. The resolution stated, "Bottled water must travel many miles from the source, resulting in the burning of massive amounts of fossil fuels, releasing CO2 and other pollution into the atmosphere; and, plastic water bottles are one of the fastest growing sources of municipal waste."

Spectrum Water Coolers, http://www.SpectrumWaterCoolers.com, provides a green alternative to bottled water by filtering the water source supplied to the office. There is virtually no waste that results in the process.

Already major clients in 46 states have signed on to use this important new product. Clients include Microsoft, FedEx, Marriott Hotels, UBS, HSBC Bank, AARP, Home Depot, Nike and several other Fortune 500 companies.

Spectrum Water Coolers, http://www.SpectrumWaterCoolers.com, has proven to be approximately half the cost of a bottled water solution, uses 65% less energy than typical water coolers, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 98% when compared to bottled water. What's more, the water from Spectrum Water Coolers is likely to be safer. Bottled water is filtered, and then stored without refrigeration, often harboring millions of bacteria per glass. While the International Bottled Water Association recommends that the water storage tanks of every bottled cooler be sanitized monthly, this is rarely done. Furthermore, a very large percentage of bottled water is simple filtered municipal tap water.

"While our bottle-less coolers perform like traditional bottled water coolers, they are in fact, more attractive, less expensive, safer and much more environmentally friendly," said Jeff Doughty, the founder and CEO of Spectrum Water Coolers, http://www.SpectrumWaterCoolers.com." As companies large and small move away from consuming bottled water for environmental, cost and health reasons, they are looking to Spectrum as the nationwide alternative."

Indeed, cost savings and environmental concerns are what drove San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's recent decision to prohibit city departments from buying bottled water. Los Angeles and Salt Lake City have also made it illegal to spend city money on bottled water. There is also a trend away from bottled water in upscale restaurants across the nation.

"The message is clear," said Doughty. "Civic and business leaders, who understand the tremendous negative environmental impact of bottled water, are urging citizens to turn on the tap. And yet, unfiltered tap water carries potential health risks and perception problems of its own. Spectrum Water Coolers offers the best of both worlds: clean filtered water with no bottles. It's the perfect solution for safe, affordable drinking water."
