Water, water, everywhere – it’s a fundamental part of life. Most of the human body, and most of the Earth we know and love, is comprised of this life-giving source. As the substance that our bodies require to live, water is often overlooked until its absence (or the power of its presence) is felt. It sustains us, and we must in turn conserve and sustain this renewable resource. Continue the symbiotic relationship we have with H₂O with these water-conscious products.
sproos! Shower Kit + Filter
Showering is one of life’s small luxuries, and the way we shower is just as important as what we shower with.

This kit includes a hand shower kit with a filter, a free filter cartridge, and a 24-inch slide bar with a hand shower slider and soap dish.

A safe and sustainable choice like this one can remove chlorine from household water, softening your hair and skin to elevate your shower experience. www.sproos.co
GOpure Pet Bowl
Why should people be the only living beings in the home to drink fresh water? Many pet owners already go the extra mile to ensure their furry friend receives a crisp drink from a filtered fountain, like the fridge or a sink attachment. But what if your pet’s bowl itself did the hard work for you? GOpure offers a filtered solution for animals that keeps on giving. Each bowl holds 64 ounces inside stainless steel, with an interior GOpure pod for planet-friendly purification. The pods act as filters, preventing your pets from drinking the biofilm that can often accumulate in their bowls. www.gopurepod.com
