Sometimes a big idea comes from a little source.

As an assignment in her 5th grade class, Erin, an 11 year old girl, was asked to design a product that might better the world. Erin invented SipSavers™, earth-friendly tags that grow.

SipSavers™ are tags used to personalize and identify a water or other drink bottle.
They come in many different shapes and colors. Simply choose the SipSavers™ design and color that best suits you, and slip the latex-free, photo-degradable band over the bottleneck.

What makes SipSavers™ unique is that the tags are biodegradable, and each is embedded with wildflower seeds. When you're done with your drink, simply tear your SipSaver™ from its band, and soak it in water overnight. Then cover the SipSaver™ with a thin layer of soil, and keep it moist until seedlings are well established.

Wildflowers from a bottle tag -- how cool is that? And doesn't it feel great to give back to the earth?

The inspiration for SipSavers™ came from being a sister and a team sports player. Erin's mom often buys recyclable water bottles for Erin and her sisters, and sometimes for Erin and her entire team. The only problem is that all of the water bottles look alike. Often, Erin and company would throw away the half-empty water bottles if they couldn't identify any as their own. After all, no one wants to share germs and risk getting sick before the big game. Now, do they? That's when the idea of SipSavers™ hit her.

Erin loves this earth. The fewer water bottles we waste, the less water we waste,

and the greener our world will be.

Please help Erin Save the Bottle, and Save the World™.
