Actor Matt Damon is hoping to quench the worldโs thirst one water bottle at a time. Damon is selling limited edition CamelBak Groove water bottleโs on his Water.org charity website.
The bottles come in two designs, are environmentally friendly, 100% BPA-free, and $10 from every purchase will go to the charity. Water.org was co-founded by Damon and works to provide safe drinking water and sanitation to people in developing nations.
In a statement Damon said: โI think what resonates with me most is when you see people living without clean water and theyโre forced to scavenge for water and basically use up all of their time just doing that. You realize that theyโre in such a crippling cycle of poverty; itโs just a death spin that they canโt possibly get out of.โTo order a limited edition water bottle go to www.Water.org/gift
