How Crete Untied Celebrated Earth Day 2025 with a Sustainable Initiative Supporting Clean Water Access
6/20/25
Earth Day offers us an important moment to reflect on the choices we make every day and the impact those choices have on the world around us. This year at Crete Untied, we turned reflection into meaningful action by launching a sustainability initiative focused on clean water access, community connection, and lasting impact.
Central to this initiative is our partnership with We Are The Ripple (WATR), an Ohio-based small business dedicated to expanding global access to clean drinking water. Together, we created a custom-designed, reusable water bottle—a simple product carrying a powerful message.
A Shared Journey Across 40+ Partners
To deepen the impact, we introduced a unique sticker collection experience. Each visit to one of our 40+ partners provides an opportunity to collect a custom sticker, turning every bottle into a personal symbol of engagement and connection. As stickers accumulate, the bottle becomes a vibrant visual record of collaboration and community.
A Culture of Sustainability
This Earth Day initiative is part of a larger shift at Crete Untied toward integrating sustainability into everything we do. We’re looking beyond one-time efforts and finding ways to build greener habits into the fabric of our company.
By encouraging reusable choices, reducing waste, and supporting global clean water access, we’re not just talking about sustainability—we’re practicing it.
These small decisions matter. They add up. They spread. And they remind us that big changes often start with the things we carry, the places we visit, and the people we connect with along the way.
The Story Behind the Bottle
The WATR bottle is more than just reusable gear. Every bottle sold helps fund clean water projects for underserved communities around the globe. It’s a daily reminder that what we carry—and what we choose—can have a real, lasting impact.
This effort is rooted in a shared philosophy. WATR believes in turning everyday objects into vehicles for good. At Crete United , that vision aligns with our own commitment to sustainability, responsibility, and action that benefits more than just ourselves.
