O.N.E. Water::



O.N.E. Water made its debut at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week this month, bringing an eco-friendly alternative to the plastic bottles of water that have been in plentiful supply in the Bryant Park tents in seasons past. This pure, natural spring water comes from the Blue Mountain Plateau of Eastern Canada, where its source is sustained by the natural cycle of rainfall and snowfall. O.N.E. Water is packaged in BPA-free Tetra Pak cartons made primarily of paper from responsibly reforested areas. Rodrigo Veloso, the company’s founder and CEO, is committed to giving back to the community and practicing Conscious Capitalism. No less than 100% of the profits from O.N.E. Water are donated to a selection of charities. You can log onto www.onewater.com to help decide which charities will receive support.

Rouge Tomate:



In less than one year, Rouge Tomate, the innovative new restaurant concept imported from Belgium, has added a new dimension to Manhattan’s dining scene. The restaurant follows the principles of S.P.E., a culinary and nutritional charter that fuses exquisite cuisine with genuine nutrition. The result is a modern American menu based on locally produced, sustainable ingredients. Rouge Tomate is also a member of the Green Restaurant Association and employs environmentally conscious procedures in all its day-to-day operations. This gastronomic hot spot already has a celebrity following, and the New York fashion set was treated to a taste of their fresh and seasonal fare at the Rouge Tomate juice bar that was located in the lobby of the main tent during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.

Twist:



Twist makes household products designed to make cleaning less of a chore. The Boulder, Colorado based company makes cute sponges with names like Dish Dumpling and the Ravioli Scrubby that can do the job of any regular sponge or paper towel. They’re made of natural, biodegradable materials and they’re durable, so they last longer (one Twist Sponge Cloth is equal to about 17 rolls of paper towels). All of Twist’s earth-friendly products are reasonably priced and some of the recyclable packages can even be converted into bird feeders.
