Not All Bottled Water is EVIL, Choose Rain has built a better mousetrap!
“Choose Rain’s proprietary process presents the most significant innovation in bottled water since the 1970’s when bottled water was first introduced in plastic bottles.”
Choose Rain has replaced the EVIL perception of bottled water with PURE rainwater in a guilt free, eco-friendly bio-D bottle.
Creativity, transparency and authenticity are the keys to success for many very successful crowd funding campaigns. The next two campaigns are outstanding examples. The Kickstarter “Potato Salad” campaign, asked for $10 and raised $55,492 due to humor, social media and a viral campaign. The Indiegogo “Flow Hive” campaign asked for just $70,000 and raised over $12 million. Flow Hive developed the better mousetrap for wanna-be bee keepers and unlocked a previously untapped market – making the essential practice of bee keeping simple. What a concept! Hats off to them all.
So in the true tradition of authentic, transparent and innovative campaigns, we bring you Choose Rain – the evolution of bottled water: removing the negatives and replacing them with positives.
Choose Rain is a company that harvests rainwater, purifies it naturally, pours it into bio-D bottles and distributes it to the marketplace where you can now enjoy pure, clean, eco-friendly bottled water.
Launched on April 22, 2015, to honor Earth Day, our campaign will create orders for our sustainable bottled water to help us gear up production to meet global demand. In the three year since we first introduced Choose Rain, we have discovered a very real need for our unique water in our bio-D bottle. We are now ready to take Choose Rain to the world market.
Our research shows us that people love Choose Rain! They love the way the water tastes, the way the bottle looks and they simply love the fact that both are genuinely eco-friendly: thus making Choose Rain a unique product among bottled waters.
Our Campaign will provide the funds to take several steps forward on our quest to secure a larger rainwater catchment and bottling facility in Central Florida. Whether we raise our $50,000 target goal or $500,000 or even $5,000,000, every dollar will get us closer to providing pure rainwater for human consumption that is safe, environmentally conscious, and easy to access anywhere on earth.
Check out the rest of our campaign to find out how we take the rain from the heavens and turn it into water you can drink safely and conscientiously.
THE STORY
The CEO of Choose Rain built a home in Florida where rainwater is his only source of water, free from harsh chemicals and over processing. He decided to take his philosophy to the next level and provide the same fresh experience for people everywhere.
Memories of running around as a child catching rainwater on your tongue was the inspiration behind Choose Rain. By drinking our bottled water, it is the closest you will ever get to that childhood experience. Our water is safe for everyone to drink, just like catching rain straight from the skies! Coming soon from a cloud near you!
Water Crisis! Over filled landfills and polluted waterways! Unhealthy water!
Rainwater gives aquifers a reprieve, Choose Rain!
Our bio-D bottle gives landfills a reprieve, Choose Rain!
Why is Choose Rain’s bottled rainwater a better mousetrap? We all know that traditional bottled water, the old mousetrap, is bad for the environment. It’s bad for the aquifer. It’s bad for landfills. For nearly 50 years, since the first plastic bottles appeared, people across the globe now purchase 200 billion bottles of water a year in the name of convenience. We know we shouldn’t drink bottled water but we do anyway. We call it “guilty sustenance”. This is all anyone had available until Choose Rain changed the playing field to offer a superior, “guilt-free”, bottled water experience.
Water Crisis! Over filled landfills and polluted waterways! Unhealthy water! Choose Rain™ is a revolutionary alternative to the bottled water currently available on the market. Captured before it hits the ground, our rainwater is still fresh, sweet and pure – no ground pollution! Our one of a kind purification process avoids the use of Chlorine and other harmful chemicals. Once discarded, our unique, eco-friendly, bio-D plastic bottles are manufactured to dissolve in less than five years in a typical landfill leaving no harmful by-products in the soil. Of course our bottles are recyclable, in you choose.
The proof is in our process. Choose Rain harvests rainwater before it is contaminated. We process it naturally using ozone, ultra-violet light, micro-filtration and other techniques. Our bio-D bottle that goes away in a landfill up to 100 times faster than traditional plastic bottles. Choose Rain’s proprietary system, our better mousetrap, offers an ultra-premium bottled water to the vast number of the people who do care about their health, the water crisis and the proliferation of plastic in our oceans, streams, lakes and landfills.
We are ready to revolutionize the bottled water industry to foster in a new ecological beginning for bottled water!
With a very attractive bottle and label, Choose Rain will stand out on the store shelf. We start out cleaner than most end up. We feel that Choose Rain simply tastes better and is better for you. The bio-D bottle is just icing on the cake. Our elegant look and wide mouthed bottle will compete quite favorably with the higher priced waters like Evian, FIJI, VOSS and Smartwater.
One of our best endorsements oddly comes from the label on Coke’s Glaceau Smart Water which reads.
“Is it just us or do clouds get a bad rap? While we admit they’re not as great to have around on a beach day as say the sun. Clouds are unsung heroes because they contain natures purest source of water. Meanwhile spring water comes from the ground and contains random stuff and whatever else the animals that swim in it leave behind. That’s why we copied our white puffy friends by creating Smart Water. It’s vapor distilled so it is in its purest original state, but we don’t stop there. We one-up the clouds by adding electrolytes. It’s a difference you can taste, unless of course you have no taste buds, then you’re on your own”.
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. We don’t have to “one-up” the clouds, we are the clouds’ pure rainwater in a eco-friendly bottle!
