boxed water is better for the earth.

boxed water=eco-friendly? yes! to kick it up a notch,  i would make a wall covering out of these cartons. would you? 

the founder, Benjamin Edgar described the project "boxed water is better for the earth" ::

"[We] started with the simple idea of creating a new bottled water brand that is kinder to the environment and gives back a bit. We found that water shouldn't be bottled at all, but instead, boxed. So we looked to the past for inspiration in the century old beverage container and decided to keep things simple, sustainable and beautiful. more here!
