PRH to Install Water Bottle Filling Stations to Help Reduce Plastic Pollution
;void(0);){kind=link}
Help Penguin Random House reduce plastic pollution and protect our oceans by using our new water refilling stations.
We are happy to announce that Water Bottle Filling Stations will be installed on our floors at 1745 Broadway. Responding to frequent requests from many of you at both our uptown and downtown NYC locations, and in support of our sustainability efforts, our company has acquired FW-PRO Kitchen Counter Water Purifiers. In addition to saving money, you can now also help reduce and eliminate plastic pollution as part of your daily routine.
The water purifiers serve hot, cold, and room temperature filtered water. The machine has a built-in 2 stage dual 1 micron Carbon Block/Anti-scale filter system with a bacteria inhibitor that blocks 99.9% of e.coli and reduces chlorine, lead, and insecticides. In other words, the filter removes most common contaminants found in city tap water. It also eliminates bad tastes and odor, and produces crystal clear and tasty water.
