I’m always pleased when I see any article about things being made in the USA again. It’s even nicer when it’s something leveraging “Green” technology and being headquartered in North Carolina. North Carolina can use all the positive publicity it can get these days as the Governor and his cronies in Raleigh try to drag us back to the days of Jesse Helms….
I’m also glad someone has found a positive use for all those water bottles Americans, most of whom only walk about 3 feet a day, seem to always carry with them. I guess they are afraid of dehydrating walking to the car to drive to McDonalds….
Anyway, here is an excerpt from interesting article from the Huffington Post. I encourage you to clink the link and read more…

Here\’s a quick preview from the company\’s website:
