"Leading a sustainable life is a matter of choice, but it can be hard to visualize what effect your choices are actually making on the world \u2014 and prove to others how important sustainability is. \nThat's why the new green water bottle 999Bottles is set to launch on Kickstarter, just in time for Earth Day. \nWhat sets it apart from Nalgene, Klean Kanteen and other reusable bottle makers is that each 24 oz. bottle includes three numbered dials around its base. Every time you refill the bottle, you advance the dial up a notch. \nIn short, it's an effortless way to add up the number of plastic bottles you save \u2014 up to 999 bottles. \n999Bottles also has an iPhone app that tells you what these numbers actually mean. Designed by the Artefact group, the app visualizes your consumption with graphs so that you can share the impact of your efforts with your friends as well. \nAnd that's exactly the point of 999bottles. Anybody can use re-usable bottles, but as stated on its website, \"With 999Bottles you can share and amplify the impact of your behavior to influence others in helping reduce consumption of disposable water bottles.\"\nThe campaign also points out that there are no health benefits to drinking bottled water over regular tap water. According to the Centers for Disease Control, not drinking tap water can be detrimental to your health:\n\"If you mainly drink bottled water with no or low flouride, and you are not getting enough flouride from other sources, you may get more cavities than you would if fluoridated tap water were your main water source.\"\nCheck out more about 999Bottles on its official Kickstarter campaign page, now live.\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
