Mizu's Wohltätigkeitspartner: Eine kleine Spende macht einen langen Weg.
Mizu began as a simple concept to help lighten our footprint on this beautiful planet. Today our mission remains the same and with each reusable bottle, cup, mug, or accessory we sell we are encouraged by knowing how many single-use materials we are saving from our landfills and oceans. BUT it takes a village, as they say, (or rather a vast, like-minded community of fabulous players in our case) to spread the word and to each play a different role in bettering our world, and this is why Mizu has always partnered with charities and organizations that are doing great things for great reasons. By joining our partners in donating a percentage of sales to each of these organizations, we endeavor to do our own part in paying it forward. Today we’d like to shine the spotlight on some of them and hope, in turn, that you might support them too when the opportunity arises. PINK MIZU BOTTLE/ B4BC
