WHY ECO-FRIENDLY?

Why are we claiming that we are the FIRST AND ONLY (TRULY) ECO-FRIENDLY BOTTLED WATER IN THE WORLD? Understandably it is a bold statement.

Judge for yourself:

A. Our aquifer is huge, no it´s better to say it is gigantic! Producing over 900,000 litres per month. Our spring is situated within 12 miles of Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. This spring is situated in a 633 acre "protected" catchment and has been in existence since for over 3500 years.

B. Our company is preserving 90 feet of rainforest for every bottle of Brazilian Springs Water sold. Let there be no confusion here. We actually factor in this value as a cost to us and therefore it is GUARANTEED that there is money available to donate from each and every single bottle that we sell. You can rest assured that there will be a portion of the money that you spend for our product destined to help save the rainforests of Brazil. There is no guessing. The level of our contribution is not based upon how profitable or not we are. Profits can be manipulated in many ways so we felt that this would be a fair way to determine our donation amount. Saying 100% of profits or 50% of profits would all be the same; a little, a lot or nothing. We always know that with your help we can all make a serious difference.

C. Our team will directly be involved with all aspects of the rainforest land acquisitions in Brazil, not just simply donate money and watch from a distance. Members of our staff will guide the BRAZILIAN RAINFOREST PRESERVATION FOUNDATION, INC. (See their web-site at: www.brazilianrainforest.org) where best to focus their efforts in Brazil. We believe that this makes us just that much more friendly to you and to the environment.

D. The value of our mission impacts everyone, anywhere around the world. It is so extremely critical now to focus our resources and energy on a project which affects the very air we breath everywhere on earth. BRAZILIAN SPRINGS is your constant reminder!!!


DO YOU REALLY PRESERVE 90 SQUARE FEET OF RAINFOREST FOR EVERY BOTTLE SOLD?

There are a few products which donate money to various causes which keep basing their contributions on their profits. It sounds wonderful when these operations state that 100% or 50% of their profits will go for this or that. In business a company can control their so-called profits by taking large salaries, bonuses and spending large sums on perquisites for the officers and owners. When you think about it, it all sounds good until you really do sit down and analyze it. We at BRAZILIAN SPRINGS, on the other hand, felt that to truly GUARANTEE a pre-determined donation to help save the rainforests we had to configure this another more fair way.

When we state that we preserve 90 square feet of rainforest with every bottle purchased. This is our predetermined contribution no matter what our profits are. We actually factor the donation into our cost, guaranteeing 100% that your contribution is at work. We never ever have to guess or wait until the end of the month, quarter or year to determine if there are funds to help save the Brazilian Rainforests.


HOW MUCH RAIN FOREST AM I PROTECTING
WITH MY PURCHASES?

At BRAZILIAN SPRINGS, we are determined to help protect and preserve the two rainforests of Brazil, the giant Amazon Rainforest and the seriously threatened Atlantic Rainforest. We have based the actual costs of the lands destined to be purchased in these great forests and determined the prevailing prices per acre of each area. As our label and overlay brochure indicates, we figure that with each bottle, our company donation will enable the BRAZILIAN RAINFOREST PRESERVATION FOUNDATION, INC. to buy about 90 square feet of the Amazon. An acre equals 43,560 square feet. So if you do the math, to save 1 Acre of Brazilian Rainforest you will need to purchase 484 bottles of water. The Atlantic Rainforest property is slightly more costly due to it´s proximity to the more urban areas of Brazil. Our on-site staff in Brazil directly monitors all property purchases and assists local agencies in the protective management of these forest areas acquired and saved for the benefit of us all.


WHERE ARE MY DONATIONS GOING?

BRAZILIAN SPRINGS is preserving 90 square feet of rainforest with every bottle purchase. This is done through the BRAZILIAN RAINFOREST PRESERVATION FOUNDATION, INC. This foundation was set up specifically for the purpose of helping to save the threatened rainforests of Brazil. (See their web-site at: www.brazilianrainforest.org) This organization supports the efforts and the fine work of other environmental groups. The foundation closely works with these other organizations directly to make sure that your money is used to it´s maximum advantage to help to acquire property in these important rainforests. Organized as a conduit to direct money to the appropriate rainforest projects in Brazil, the BRAZILIAN RAINFOREST PRESERVATION FOUNDATION, INC. insures the accomplishment of our “MISSION”, thus benefiting everyone of us on this planet no matter where we live.
