At this year’s NRA Show there were many memorable booths and products. One in particular that caught our eye was the Cuipo Water booth. This Innovative social Enterprise is working to protect and preserve the world’s endangered rainforest one square meter at a time. Each time a bottle of this water is sold, one square meter of Rainforest is transferred to a non-profit foundation for preservation. 70% of all cancer fighting drugs are derived from plants found in the rainforest and 20% of the world’s fresh water and oxygen come from the rainforest. You can see more pictures from this year’s NRA Show on page 36 of this issue.
