Well, it would be a bit more exciting to have my name in green lights in say… Plenty or Good Magazine…but People it is. See page 131 in the current issue on newstands: Best (and Worst!) of 2008… I got interviewed for their What’s Next in 2009 spread. Here is what it says:
WHAT’S NEXT IN 2009:
EVEN MORE INCENTIVE TO GO GREEN
“When it comes to living green, people want practical not precious.” says Mandy Levenberg, Iconoculture Inc. senior director and consumer strategist. Her current fave product? Aluminum SIGG water bottles. “Your water stays cold and they’re easy to clean. Spending money on bottled water will continue to look bad from a green standpoint but it’s even worse on your pocketbook.”
A lot of us have had SIGGs for a long time but the mainstream PEOPLE reader, probably not. And once you could only find SIGGs at Whole Foods or Reusablebags …and now they are available at Bartell’s , Walgreens, etc. My kids use them explicitly for drinking water, milk, juice. I use them for all water drinking (even by the bedside) and I just think they rule. Simple, modern design, performs awesome, and super green. So even if Julia Roberts did jump on Oprah’s couch earlier this year while holding her SIGG, they deserve more consumer love and if People sends some folks their way, we’re all better for it.
