Make a date this New Year to broaden your mind. If you haven’t already heard about TED Talks it is a great online site that allows you to easily learn new and exciting topics. TED video lectures bring together some of the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less. One that really caught our eye recently was given by Dr. Mike Biddle, founder of MPA Polymer Plastics, as he brought to our attention the huge scope of products that can be recycled. Check out this informative video and don’t forget to join the thousands who have signed Whistler Water’s Let The Bottle Live On Pledge in the past year.

A Fraser Health cardiac specialist recently opened our eyes even more to the health benefits that water can provide. We all know H2O is great for us but did you know that there are times of the day where drinking water can be even more beneficial? Whistler Water thought we would share this cool information with you to help you get the most out of your daily water intake.
The cardiac specialist recommends:
- 2 glasses of water after waking up – this helps activate internal organs
- 1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal – helps digestion and can aid weight loss
- 1 glass of water before taking a bath – lowers blood pressure
- 1 glass of water before going to bed – helps to avoid stroke or heart attack

October 14 we were fortunate enough to be able to sponsor an amazing event, the 2011 We Day Vancouver. 18,000 youth, educators and supporters filled Rogers Arena for a day of inspiring speeches by guests like Mikhail Gorbachev and former Congolese child soldier Michel Chikwanine with entertainment by Hedley, Shawn Desman and more.
We were also fortunate enough to run into speaker Spencer West in the arena. Next year this incredible man is planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in his wheelchair.
Whistler Water was there to support the important work of Free the Children and educate thousands of students about the importance of recycling through our Let the Bottle Live On pledge.
