Chez Peachy: UncommonGoods Set of Four Protect Our Water Glasses Highly Recommended by Whom You Know

Water You Gonna Do For The Environment?
The third in the "Protect Our World" series, these striking, deep blue glasses are made from the bottom halves of wine bottles rescued before reaching the landfill and this is another brilliant idea from one of our favorite brands, UncommonGoods.  We'd also like to point out in the wide world of glassware, water glasses are the unsung heroes.  Most people are obsessed with their barware-wine and champagne glasses galore and indeed we are obsessed-however, we wouldn't be drinking wine if we were not also drinking water at the same time and believe Peachy, it is not easy to find terrific water glasses like these.  
A beautifully silk-screened design of swimming fish accompanies the words "Protect Our Waters," written in four languages: English, Spanish, Afrikaans/South African and French. Made in Wisconsin. Each is one-of-a-kind and will vary.

Complete your collection with Protect Our Earth, Protect Our Air, and Protect Our Wildlife glasses.

Uncommon Knowledge: Each year, roughly 300 tons of glass bottles are donated by wineries and recycling organizations across the country to be turned into glasses like these. And because they are made from prefab bottles that don't need to be crushed or melted, the glasses use less energy to create than normal glassware.
