Klean Kanteen, the maker of stainless steel water bottles, said it recently became a member of the Conservation Alliance, and was also honored last Wednesday at the California Oceans Day Reception in Sacramento, for its environmental stewardship.
The company said the Oceans Day Steering Committee honors one legislator, one government administrator, and one business annually, each of which has demonstrated leadership and significant action to address our oceans problems.
According to Leila Monroe, Oceans Policy Analyst for the NRDC, “Klean Kanteens products provide great alternative to the use of plastic bottles, which contribute significantly to the problem of marine debris and have many health and other environmental implications. Additionally, we applaud Klean Kanteens efforts to improve the entire production cycle and its efforts to spread education on important environmental issues.”
California Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi also presented Jeff Cresswell, co-owner of Klean Kanteen with a special award of recognition from his office for the role Klean Kanteen has played in curbing pollution.
Klean Kanteen said these awards are the most recent in a series of major environmental accolades and initiatives for the company, including becoming a member of the Conservation Alliance.
“Klean Kanteen has played a part in local and regional conservation efforts here in California for some time,” Jeff Cresswell, Klean Kanteen Director of Awareness stated. “But joining the Conservation Alliance allows us to be a part of a larger conservation effort nationwide and is a great new addition to our family of environmental partners.”
In 2008, Klean Kanteen became a member of 1% For The Planet, as well as donating 20% of Fall profits of its pink renewal bottle to the Breast Cancer Fund. The brand also partners with NatureBridge, Take Back the Tap, the Yosemite Institute, and many others.
