A Peek Inside the Heart of Green Awards Gift Bag

Hall Wines

Before we peek in the bag, let's look at the table, which included not only sustainable food, but sustainable wine. Wine for the event was generously donated by Hall Winery. Hall Winery is California's first winery to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification. Hall's estate vineyards encompass more than five hundred acres of classic Bordeaux varietals; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc. As winegrowers, the Halls have a strong respect for the environment and a commitment to cutting-edge vineyard technology to yield the highest quality grapes. The winery has also just received USDA Organic certification.

Vapur Anti-Bottle

The Vapur Anti-Bottle is quite simply the most portable refillable water bottle on the planet. And by making tap water more portable, we hope to make bottled water obsolete. Unlike traditional rigid bottles, Vapur is flexible, which means it stands upright when full and can be rolled, folded or flattened when empty, easily fitting into pockets, purses, packs or briefcases. The highly-durable bottle is freezable, dishwasher safe and BPA-free (Bisphenol A), which means it can be safely reused again and again.
