WATER BOTTLE dilemma...

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Real Estate DRE#01410072

What is a Realtor to do without a refreshing water bottle to hand off to those thirsty Buyers sitting in your car, contemplating the 100 homes you have just shown them?

What did Realtors do in the "olden days" before water bottles were available to keep their Buyers on the move?With the news around the world shouting enough is enough! Burning those water bottles causes pollution and the oil it takes to make them is also wasting our natural resources...

I use them to advertise "ME" with my logo plastered on them. I do the same for my wine bottles- GINA wine!

Please help me come up with an alternative?

I was thinking reuseable water bottles BUT thought this might be a time to get more creative...

Ideas anyone?

Keep in mind that it takes 1.5 million barrels of oil to produce bottles for the water industry in the the US alone which is enough oil to power 100,000 cars for an entire year!

Did you also know that many Asian countries incinerate the used bottles which not only uses energy but produces additional carbon dioxide...We really need to think of alternatives...

How about glass bottles of beer? Keep it on ice and recycle the glass afterward. As a bonus, it may also lower your clients' inhibitions.
