1.5 million barrels of oil are used annually to produce plastic water bottles for America alone – enough to fuel 100,000 U.S. cars for a year.

Imagine a water bottle filled a quarter of the way up with oil. That’s about how much oil was needed to produce the bottle.
Our concern is removing all bottled water from Brown’s campus in order to significantly reduce our carbon footprint, and APRIL is our month to spread awareness about the adverse and unnecessary effects of bottled water on the environment (and our wallets).

So join and stay tuned, we’ll be having many watertastic events throughout the next glorious month that you won’t want to miss!

Luisa Robledo and Haruka Aoki instantly bonded over the love for witty writing and haute couture. Haruka, a self-professed fashionista, has interned at Oak Magazine and various public relations companies where she has reached leadership positions. Luisa, a passionate journalist and editor of the Arts and Culture section of Brown University's newspaper, has interned and Vogue and has co-designed a shoe collection for the Colombian brand Kuyban. Together, they aim to create a website that deals with the real issues that college women face, a space that can serve as a forum of communication. With the help of an internationally-minded team section editors and writers who have different backgrounds, experiences, and mentalities, these two Brown girls will establish a solid presence on-campus.
