Water is Newest Environmental Initiative at Bonnaroo 2009

In an effort to raise awareness of water issues facing the world, reduce waste and upgrade onsite drinking water, Global Water Challenge has teamed up with Bonnaroo and Stanley nineteen13 for its Bottle-less Water Program. Close to a billion people lack access to clean drinking water all over the world. This crisis will become even deadlier as water scarcity becomes more acute due to climate change.

But this problem can be solved.

“We believe that we have the will and the resources to solve this crisis,” said Paul Faeth, President of Global Water Challenge. “There is a solution. With increased funding and scaling simple technology, we believe we have the ability to ensure universal access to clean and safe drinking water. We are excited to partner with Bonnaroo and Stanley nineteen13 to bring attention to this crucial issue. Partnering with Bonnaroo gives us the ability to reach a whole new audience and continue to raise awareness.”

Stanley and Bonnaroo have partnered to create a limited edition reusable Bonnaroo water bottle for the program, and together they will donate one dollar per bottle sold to Global Water Challenge.
