charity: water by Ami Kealoha
The good people of Flavorpill have joined up with NYC club promoter Scott Harrison's non-profit charity: water to help raise funds bringing the most basic of needs, clean water, to rural Ethiopia. By purchasing a $20 virtual bottle of water, 100% of your contribution goes towards building a new well in the area, which costs a total of $4,000. Flavorpill has donated half and is asking for the rest of us to pitch in the rest. It's a small, targeted action to help the one billion people in the world who don't have access to clean water and alleviate the sickness, disease and death tolls the problem brings.

Bedol Eco-Friendly Water Drop Clock
by Julie Wolfson An example of function-inspired form, the Bedol Water Clock takes the water-powered capabilities of the original and adds a new drop-shaped design. The new perky look conjures a miniature wave (or is it a fin?) in a brilliant blue color and, like the original, it tells accurate time without the need for batteries or an electrical cord. A squeeze of lemon...

Margo's Bark Root Beer
by Julie Wolfson Just about a year ago, at the age of six, Oscar Youd made root beer for his science project. With some help from his parents Jessica and Tim, his project was such a hit at school that it spawned a new line of root beer called Margo's Bark. Made with all-natural cane sugar and micro-brewed in Los Angeles, the family named Margo's...
