Travel Management Company Organises Epic Adventure for Charity

UK travel management specialists CT Business Travel on behalf of UNIGLOBE has organised a gruelling but exciting challenge in an effort to raise £35,000 for charity – the Mount Kilimanjaro Charity Climb.

(PRWEB) August 2, 2010

CT Business Travel (http://www. ctbusinesstravel. co. uk) is part of UNIGLOBE, and it is through this association that these organisations have decided to help a very special cause. The charity is Plan and the specific campaign the funds are being raised for is ‘Because I am a Girl’.

Plan is one of the largest child-centred community development organisations in the world, helping children and their families in 48 of the poorest countries to break the cycle of poverty.

Plan’s Because I am a Girl campaign is a global campaign to raise awareness for the plight of girls around the world and the unique role they play in the fight against global poverty. In many countries around the world, girls are denied their rights such as education and healthcare, nourishment and protection – simply because they are girls. But it is proven that investing in girls is a key to eliminating global poverty. By educating girls they will go on to improve the lives of those around them. They will help break the cycle of poverty, not just for themselves, but for their families, communities and nations.

The Mount Kilimanjaro charity climb has been created with the aim of raising £35,000 for an education project in Mwanza, to the north of Tanzania. The project’s aim is to construct a girls’ school residence so that an entire community of girls can access the education they need to break the cycle of poverty. The primary and immediate beneficiaries of this project will be 100 girls, but thousands more girls will benefit as the residence will be used for years to come.

Of the 15 volunteers flying the flag for UNIGLOBE UK, 4 will be attending from CT Business Travel including business owner Mark Kempster who commented, “It is a privilege to help both organise the Mount Kilimanjaro charity climb and to be taking part, I am really looking forward to it and a huge thanks in advance to all those who are supporting us for this very special cause”.

The adventure will begin on September 6 when the UNIGLOBE team flies from Heathrow to prepare for the ascent. For further information regarding the Mount Kilimanjaro charity climb or to make a donation visit -

Redleaf Water to Introduce “Guilt-Free, Biodegradable ‘Bio Bottles’” in January

Redleaf Water to Introduce “Guilt-Free, Biodegradable ‘Bio Bottles’” in January

Biodegradable Bottles Represent An Important Step Forward In redleaf Water’s Commitment To Environmental Stewardship

Chilliwack, Canada (PRWEB) December 6, 2010

redleaf Water, Canada’s Ultra-Premium bottled water, will introduce guilt-free, “BIO BOTTLES” in January, 2011, representing the industry’s first biodegradable and recyclable water bottle. redleaf Water is available throughout Canada and in select stores in the Western United States.

Statistics show that recycling simply isn’t working. An overwhelming 74% of recyclable water bottles end up clogging landfills, polluting the oceans or are discarded into the environment. The redleaf “BIO BOTTLES,” will biodegrade naturally in normal environmental conditions.

“To put this situation in perspective, a 12x12 room is being filled from floor to ceiling every 74 seconds with empty water bottles,” said redleaf COO Dave Hillis. “As Canadians, we have a strong bond with nature and made a commitment when we started the company to aggressively seek alternatives to reduce our impact on the environment, while still providing customers with superior drinking water.”

As part of the “BIO BOTTLE” program, redleaf will debut a new one liter bottle, along with its existing 500Ml bottles. The company expects the “BIO BOTTLES” to begin appearing on store shelves as early as January, 2011. Third party research shows that redleafs’ “BIO BOTTLES” will set industry standard for eco-friendly bottle manufactures.

“Our greatest challenge is one of education,” said Hillis. “We have to ensure consumers understand the dramatic difference between biodegradable and recyclable. Adding to the confusion are the so called plant bottles. The redleaf bottles will disappear in natural conditions, recyclable bottles alone will not. For anyone concerned about the environment, this represents a dramatic step forward.”

To prove the difference, redleaf will launch the “Disappearing Project” in January, and will “plant” its “BIO BOTTLES” with a select number of competitors’ bottles in “BioGardens” in Canada, Arizona and Georgia. The project is designed to highlight how the “BIO BOTTLES” disappear in various environmental conditions.

Redleaf starts as great water from an artesian aquifer in Chilliwack, British Columbia, and is made even better through a proprietary purification and bottling process. The water’s high oxygen content and high pH of 8.3 have been known to have several health benefits for the drinker, including increased alertness, hydration and stamina – all of which are crucial to athletes and sports fans alike.

About redleaf water

Redleaf is North America's only ultra-premium bottled water. It starts with great water from a naturally renewable source in the Canadian Rockies, and is made better through a state-of-the-art purification and bottling process, that is the industry’s most advanced and the best way to improve on the Earth’s own natural process for making great tasting, healthy water. It is available in locations throughout the Mountain West region of the United States, including more than 100 Albertsons LLC stores.
