Our Partners

Bluewater is a Swedish company dedicated to bringing fresh, healthy water to people who believe that the best water is purified water that comes from the local community – not bottled in plastic and transported from faraway places.

Back in 2013, Bengt Rittri decided to put a little human ingenuity to work – combining patented SuperiorOsmosis™ technology and the will to change the way the world views water. Bluewater purifiers make water safer to drink – with far less contaminants than tap water and without the contaminants floating around in single-use plastic water bottles.

One Tree Planted is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to make it simple for anyone to help the environment by planting trees. Their projects span the globe and are done in partnership with local communities and knowledgeable experts to create an impact for nature, people, and wildlife. Reforestation helps to rebuild forests after fires and floods, provide jobs for social impact, and restore biodiversity. Many projects have overlapping objectives, creating a combination of benefits that contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Beyond such projects, One Tree Planted believes that truly engaging people who want to have a personal experience is critical to raising awareness through action. That’s why they also organize volunteer events, create educational materials, and provide ways for businesses and sports organizations to give back to nature. By focusing on collaborative sustainability from the ground up, they hope to make a lasting and positive difference for the planet.
