As Climate Week NYC Begins, FloWater CEO Says America’s Climate Resilience Conversation Must Include Drinking Water
“If a parent still has to wonder whether the water coming out of their child’s school fountain is safe to drink, we have work to do.”
“If a parent still has to wonder whether the water coming out of their child’s school fountain is safe to drink, we have work to do.”
"For years, Americans have prepared for the next storm, the next outage, the next disruption," underscores Flowater CEO Rich Razgaitis. "It's time we did the same for water. A system that isn't safe and a system you can't count on are both the same kind of failure—we just don't talk about them that way yet."
FloWater Refill stations have helped eliminate more than 1.5 billion single-use plastic bottles, proving that premium drinking water and sustainability can go hand in hand. Imagine the impact if every major stadium and arena across North America embraced that same approach.
As schools prepare for warmer months and back-to-school planning, ensuring students have convenient access to safe, great-tasting drinking water may be one of the simplest and most effective ways to support their health, wellbeing and academic success.
“The question is how quickly we move to protect public health and strengthen confidence in drinking water systems for future generations,” says FloWater CEO and co-founder Rich Razgaitis.
“Access to trusted drinking water should not depend on geography or income,” said Rich Razgaitis, Co-Founder and CEO of FloWater.
“We are born pre-polluted,” said Rich Razgaitis, CEO of FloWater. “And it only accelerates from there.”
“People are starting to question the assumption that tap water is always safe,” said FloWater co-founder and CEO, Rich ‘Raz’ Razgaitis.
“Everyone talks about plastic like it’s the issue,” says FloWater CEO Rich 'Raz' Razgaitis. “It’s not. Plastic is the outcome. The real problem is people don’t trust their tap water.”
"Detoxing from plastic is not going to be easy. Micro and nano plastics are already everywhere... this is not just about the environment anymore. It is about human health, fertility, and the kind of future we are creating".
“Parents shouldn’t have to pack water for their kids because they don’t trust the school drinking fountain,” said FloWater co-founder and CEO Rich Razgaitis
