Brazilian Springs Bottled Water 'Spokes-Frog' Needs a Name
Every bottle purchased saves 90 square feet of the rain forest.

Come On In . . . The Water's Fine!
When was the last time you put something in your body that was good for you and for the environment?
Brazilian Springs bottled water is a deliciously refreshing water that is on a mission. We are out to save the rain forest and we would like you to come along. But, I am getting ahead of myself, let me explain.
I am a red-eyed tree frog and the official spokes-frog for Brazilian Springs Water in Michigan. I proudly represent the owners Rick and Rehana Brown of Bay City. They are trying to spread the word about an amazing new product that does more than just quench your thirst. It actually does something good to protect our environment and help save Mother Earth.
We've all heard about "going green". It's a great concept (in fact, I've lived my entire life being "green"). Everyone has their own idea of what that means, and the truth is, there are many ways to live green. If you have been looking for a way to do you part, but are not sure where to start (and you drink water anyway), this is a great product for you.
Brazilian Springs Water is 100% natural spring water that comes from a year old aquifer in Arkansas. The founders of Brazilian Springs wanted a way to incorporate a successful business with a way to give back - and quench the thirst of millions of people worldwide. Hence, Brazilian Springs Water was born.
Every bottle purchased saves 90 square feet of the rain forest.
How?
We give money back to the Brazilian Rain Forest Foundation. They buy land that would otherwise suffer deforestation. Why should you care? Well, for starters, the rain forest is my home. Along with thousands of other species of amazing creatures. We need this area just to survive. Also, the rain forest is home to so many unique plants which are used to create medicines - live saving medicines. Also, did you know that the rain forest is consider the lungs of our planet. Remember 6th grade science - how you learned that plants give off oxygen? Well, what do you think might happen if the trees were completely wiped out?
We invite you to visit our store located at 99 Tuscola (M-15) in Bay City. We are open to the public on Wednesdays from 12 to 5 and Saturdays from 10-6. During these two days, you are able to purchase the water at wholesale cost! We are always available by appointment by calling (989) 798-2895.
You can also find Brazilian Springs Water at some local retails: Southside Market and A&J Galleries. If your favorite retailer doesn't carry Brazilian Springs - ask for it!
Would you like to win a basket full of great rain forest products?
Enter our "Name That Tree Frog" Contest - Simply stop in during one of our wholesale days and submit your suggestion.
The contest is open to everyone and each name will be carefully considered by me, the tree frog. Stop in the store for complete details and keep in mind - I'm cute and green and need a rockin' name!
If you're going to drink water anyway - why not drink one that is helping to save the planet (and adorable creatures like me!)
Thank you, Rehana Brown
