SIGN-UP FOR DAILY TIPS

If 10,000 Denver Biters drink a half-liter from a water cooler at the office instead of buying a plastic water bottle every day for a year, we'll avert the weight of 380 coworkers in plastic from ending up in landfills.

Contrary to what you might have heard in grade school, water does not go down drains and toilets in different directions in the northern and southern hemispheres.

Take a (Gos)sip

The Bite

Want another good reason to hit the water cooler? (Who Wore It Best? Feud of the Week? Next!) Now you can glug H2O collected just 27 miles east of Denver by Eldorado Natural Spring Water. As Biters, you know to hang with your reusable water bottle, so skip ENSW's single size, and go for its recyclable water coolers. The company washes and reuses its five-gallon jugs at least 40 times, then recycles them into chairs and decks, making sure that each one - and the 38 equivalent single-serving bottles - stays outta landfills. We're all about filtered tap at home, but if you need water at work, this stuff keeps it local without the waste. Now about Audrina and Justin...
