Don’t let this blond bombshell fool you, she has a lot more to offer than just a pretty face.  These days she has been on a mission in a fight against autism.  Jenny is an outspoken advocate for creating greener vaccines, writing books and founding a site called, Generation Rescue (www.generation rescue.com), which challenges the media’s conventional message about autism.

Jenny’s boyfriend of more than three years, Jim Carrey, has also lent his name and support to her noble cause. Together they believe that certain vaccines are causing injury to children, which raises some pretty interesting issues. For example, 1 in 91 children (formally 1 in 150 up until 2009 and 1 in 10,000 in the early 1990s) is diagnosed with autism every year, which is the fastest growing developmental disability in the U.S.

According to the site, “Generation Rescue is an international movement of scientists and physicians researching the causes and treatments for autism, ADHD, neurological disorders and chronic illness, while parent-volunteers mentor thousands of families in recovering their children. These conditions are treatable and often reversible.”

Jenny has also teamed up with Oprah in educating the public about the possible causes of autism and the idea of green vaccines. The first collaboration under the pact is a blog by McCarthy on Oprah.com. Both sites offer some great info & are definitely worth checking out. These are just a couple reasons why TCB ♥’s Jenny McCarthy.

I have always had a desire to work for a non-profit in their creative department, and I have found that it is very rare for the majority of non-profits to be as creative, clear and as on point as this bottled water company based in the best city in the US: San Diego.  Okay, so maybe I am a little biased but none the less, Nika Water Company is working overtime in reducing their carbon footprint and making the world a better place, one tasty drop at a time.

Initially, what caught my attention about Nika Water Company is that they donate 100% of their profits to support clean water projects in impoverished countries.  So you mean to tell me that the founders of this company are not raking in the dollars produced by Nika?  NO!  They actually do not receive ANY compensation or economic benefit from Nika at all.  Instead, they share the same beliefs and passion of having created an environmentally responsible business that will be used to help solve global issues. Seriously awesome!

The Nika water bottle definitely stands out from the rest of bla bla competitors.  It has an amazing, colorful picture that looks hand-painted on the front and it sparks your curiosity from the first glance. Not only is the bottle pretty to look at on the outside but it tastes pure and crisp (and I would consider myself a pretty big water snob). It is also the only carbon neutral certified water bottle that exists today.  Think of it this way, imagine how much carbon dioxide is produced by getting that fancy schmancy, untouched by man, filtered through the exotic rainbow on the remote islands of wherever, water bottle to the US so that you can actually purchase and drink it… A TON!  So that “pure” water that you are drinking isn’t so pure after all. Why purchase the trendy bottle of water when you could be actually supporting an environmentally responsible company like Nika?

On top of all of this, Nika has also set up a couple of different programs that make it super easy for all of us to get involved.  Nika has pledged that for every Nika water bottle sold, they will ensure that a corresponding plastic bottle is taken out of the environment and recycled. To do this, NIKA has set up unique recycling programs with different schools and universities to create plastic bottle buy‐back programs.  This is great considering the huge problem the world faces with the growing amount of plastic that is invading our oceans and landfills.  Perhaps you have heard of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?  I will admit that I had not known or heard much about this ‘plastic ocean’ until looking into it after reading about it on the Nika site.  This floating continent is twice the size of Texas and in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  It comes from all over the Pacific Rim and swirls into a vortex that eventually creates huge sand dunes made of plastic.  Pretty gross, but luckily with Nika’s One-for-One Program that they have set into place, they are helping to prevent this plastic land from getting any bigger.

The only actual complaint that I have about Nika water is that I wish this water bottle was easier to find.  Right now it is located at different cafes, bakeries, bars and restaurants only in California. Hopefully, soon it will be at all of the everyday stops too but, until then lets all help support this company in growing one bottle at a time.
