Ecopreneurs

Environmental entrepreneurs, or ecopreneurs, are people that believe that environmental products and services can serve as a synergy of business opportunity and environmental responsibility.

 

The Multipure Business Opportunity promotes not just entrepreneurship, but ecopreneurship. Multipure allows Independent Distributors to attain financial success by promoting cleaner drinking water; Multipure filters are more environmentally responsible than disposable bottled water, whose plastic bottles can take anywhere from 400 to 1,000 years to biodegrade. Multipure Drinking Water Systems not only provide a way to enjoy water that is cleaner and more healthful than bottled water, but provide a solid carbon block filter that naturally biodegrades and even continues to remove environmental pollutions while in a landfill!

 

The problem with disposable bottled water:

 

Individual use of plastic water bottles has become a multi-billion dollar industry. Not only is bottled water much more expensive than tap water, but there is also a serious cost to our planet:

 

    •  50 million barrels of oil are used annually to manufacture plastic water

        bottles.¹

    •  2 million tons of plastic bottles end up in U.S. landfills each year.²

    •  Bottled water uses fossil fuels in the making, filling, transporting, and

        recycling of plastic water bottles. To learn more about this process,

        check out "The Story of Bottled Water" at http://www.storyofstuff.org/

The Multipure Business Opportunity allows you to make a better future for yourself, for your family, and for the environment. By becoming a Multipure Independent Distributor, you become not just a network marketer or entrepreneur, but an ecopreneur.
