On World Water Day this year, Teva launched “Pair for a Foot”, which will protect one linear foot of global waterways for every pair of Teva shoes and sandals sold in 2011. This long-term initiative will help protect over four million feet of global and Canadian waterways.
Teva’s campaign will support their ongoing partnership with Waterkeeper Alliance to create safe, clean watersheds. With Teva’s support, several major water-preservation projects will be kicking off in the summer of 2011, including Lake Ontario’s first beach preservation tour, Fraser Riverkeeper’s anti-polluter patrols of the Fraser River in British Columbia, and water quality sampling in the Ottawa River.
Fraser Riverkeeper would like to thank our supporters and friends. With your help, we can continue to dedicate to our mission of enhancing the health and beauty of the Fraser River.
We wish to thank the following organizations and businesses for their services and tools:
IM Rivers: IM Rivers granted us a free license for 2010 for the use of their interactive map tools. This yearly license allowed us to provide our website visitors with an educational map tool for finding points of interest along the Fraser and in BC. Thank you, IM!
Earthpoint: Earthpoint gave us a free one-year subscription to utilize their tools, and we have found their xls to kml conversion tool and map icons very handy for creating our own Google Earth based map of data points. Thank you so much!
Chilliwack Valley Voice: Craig Hill has been a very supportive editor and journalist in covering our events and news to the Chilliwack community, which sits on the banks of the Fraser River. We want to thank Craig for his support and for getting the word out about our Earth Day cleanups–four years of cleaning up the Pegleg Gravel Bar.

It’s not just giving. It’s giving that changes the world. You want to make a difference. Now it’s easy to take action. This is the motto of Janet Helm, with whom we are excited to be collaborating.
2% of Janet Helm’s sales of reusable water bottles, carafes and glasses, and rain barrels will go directly to Fraser Riverkeeper. Janet’s The Giving Project is based on the idea that gratitude enriches our everyday lives; on June 6 this year, she began giving for 21 days.
A habit of giving and gratitude is excellent for everyone.
-Janet Helm
What better gift to give than the gift of clean water!

H2O Plus Gives Back to Local Waters
Global skincare brand teams up with Fraser Riverkeeper
H2O Plus, the creator of sea-derived skincare, proudly announces its partnership with Fraser Riverkeeper. Their collaboration demonstrates a mutual commitment to restoring and protecting the world’s most vital resource. It also represents a natural evolution of H2O Plus’ original water-inspired concept.
“Our alliance with Fraser Riverkeeper is a natural fit,” said Bob Seidl, President and CEO of H2O Plus. “Our shared advocacy for clean, plentiful water is a mission that’s inherent to both of us. It’s at the heart of H2O Plus’ 20-year heritage.”
Marking the international launch of Sea PureTM, H2O Plus’ first all-natural skincare collection, this philanthropic effort underscores the brand’s regard for marine life. Sea Pure reveals naturally younger-looking, age-resilient skin by harnessing the power of sea moss, sea lavender and other marine-sourced nutrients.
Beginning December 2009, H2O Plus will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from their limited-edition Sea Pure t-shirts to Fraser Riverkeeper and other water conservation charities. The organic cotton t-shirts feature the Sea Pure natural product seal, which states that the formulas are 100 percent vegan and biodegradable; free of synthetic fragrances, parabens, petrochemicals, phthalates and sulfates; cruelty free and against animal testing.
“Fraser Riverkeeper is honored to partner with H2O Plus. Every dollar they help us raise and every story they help us tell will bring us one step closer to re-establishing the Fraser River and the salmon it sustains as the biological, economic and cultural heart of this region. We are all working towards swimmable, drinkable, fishable waters,” said Doug Chapman, Fraser Riverkeeper.
As part of their collaboration, H2O Plus and Fraser Riverkeeper will host a series of exclusive in-store shopping events. A percentage of profits from the events will support the organization’s efforts to protect, conserve, and improve the water quality and fish habitat of the Fraser River and its watershed.
H2O Plus’ entire array of sea-derived skincare, spa, bath, gifts and accessories can be found through the company’s retail stores, the company website at www.h2oplus.com, or by calling 1-800-242-2284.
For more information on H2O Plus please contact Kerri Lee Ross or Rhiannon Yarrow of Siren PR at 212.625.3500 or Kerri@sirenpr.com/Rhiannon@sirenpr.com.
