Sustainable Water
This bottle shrinks to 30% of its size, making it easy to tuck into a handbag, briefcase or a back pocket."Refill your Aquatina just three times and it’s carbon neutral compared to buying bottles." Personally, I'd like to see it a compostable material for the end of life stage.

"There is a traditional-shaped fish bowl in the Poor Little Fish basin. While using, the level of water in the bowl gradually falls (but does not actually drain out); it will go back to the same level once the water stops running. As well, the water from the tap is pure, as its pipeline does not connect to the bowl."
