The HeroesToo Foundation is an environmental NGO based in Hong Kong.  We are focused on a global solution to environmental issues.  We believe in protecting the planet through people power.


Our Solution

We’ve developed a range of stainless steel eco-bottles called The MessageBottle. The idea is simple: Your Cause, Your Bottle.


Each bottle is color-coded and reflects your individual commitment to a wide range of environmental efforts and social causes. The proceeds from each bottle will fund a correlating cause. We’ve identified 17 different causes that are aligned with the UN Global Goals Initiative (www.globalgoals.org).  Our goal is to raise at least USD 30,000 to successfully manufacture the bottle. The first run will feature a First Edition Green Climate Action Bottle (Pictured above). Funds raised will go towards HeroesToo's EcoPledge program. You can learn more about the cause and how the funds will be used here: http://heroestoo.org/about-the-ecopledge/. As we raise more funds, we’ll introduce more causes and colors to the line.                                                       

***UPDATE 1***

We are proud to announce that we have teamed up with Masarang, an organization which protects endangered Asian species, promotes reforestation and empowers local communities. You now have the choice of donating your money to either our EcoPledge program or Masarang's reforestation initiatives in Indonesia when purchasing your MessageBottle.

***UPDATE 2***

After several requests from friends and supporters of HeroesToo, we have now decided to add a new bottle to our campaign - the solid green. The concept is the same; by preordering your MessageBottle you donate money to our EcoPledge, but now you have the choice of either getting the first edition stainless steel bottle with green lid, or the new special edition solid green bottle. 

Our Journey

The MessageBottle journey started with The Cause Bottle Challenge Design Contest on GrabCAD, a large online community of over 2 million engineers and designers.  Through this contest, we sought out the most innovative and practical design of a sustainable water bottle to be put into production.  Chicago industrial designer Jacob Stanton’s design was selected ultimately for its simple design, ease of production and practicality.

Product Specifications

Our insulated MessageBottle will keep you hydrated with either cold or hot liquids: your choice. The MessageBottle is:

  • 17 FL Oz (500ml)

  • BPA free

  • Leak proof

  • Made with high grade stainless steel

  • Double-walled construction keeps drinks hot or cold for hours

  • Reduces the need for single use plastic bottles

  • Supports great causes

                                                 

What We Need & What You Get

With your contribution we can start manufacturing the first of many MessageBottles.  Early birds will also be entitled to a limited edition neoprene sleeve with their bottle:

             

As the success of the MessageBottle grows, we hope to manufacture different colors of the bottle to benefit other causes in line with the UN Global Goals such as gender equality and poverty alleviation.

Join our campaign to create the MessageBottle for a better planet.

      One Bottle, Global Impact


The Impact

1. Reduce single use plastic bottles-with billions of plastic bottles ending up in landfill and entering our oceans, plastic is negatively affecting our wildlife and environment.  You can help make a difference by using a reusable water bottle instead of buying drinks bottled in single use plastics.


2. Support the EcoPledge Program in schools in Hong Kong, Canada, United States and United Kingdom initially, then in schools in other countries.


3. Support other environmental and social programs in line with the UN Global Goals.

Our goal is to raise at least USD 30,000 to successfully manufacture the bottles and raise partial funds for the EcoPledge Program, but with more funding, we’ll be able to support more schools in addition to backing other charities once we’ve passed this target! One Bottle-Global Impact!
