I have a soft spot for the name of this product, but the story behind it is a good one.

In 2001, Peter Thum worked in communities in South Africa that lacked clean water. He left his job at McKinsey and Company, moved to NY, and started the Ethos project with Jonathan Greenblatt. They began producing bottled water in 2003, with proceeds going to the development of clean water all over the world.
"In 2005 Starbucks purchased the company for $8 million and its products are now sold throughout North America.[3] After Starbucks' acquisition, the brand has become known for its campaign to raise ten million dollars by donating between five and ten cents from every sale to a non-governmental organization working to increase access to clean drinking water in the developing world."--Wikipedia
Because the bottles are manufactured with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) instead of polycarbonates that use bisphenol A (BPA), they are biodegradable and do not injure the environment as much as other bottles.
