I was really happy to see an article about Open Water in your latest edition and amazed to see that their sales director, Toral Gandhi, lives right here in Hinsdale and has been successful in getting local stores to stock it. Our family has been buying Open Water for many years through their website — we buy a couple of cases at a time for entertaining — and it will be great to be able to pick it up instead. I’ve often thought that they would be perfect for parents bringing refreshments to their kids’ sporting events. Now that they are on the shelf at Kramer’s I hope they do.
Drinking out of aluminum containers is so much better than drinking water out of plastic bottles. No microplastics to ingest and, as mentioned in the article, aluminum can be recycled over and over again. Open Water containers have an additional benefit in that their wide tops make them easy to refill and reuse if we want before we get to finally discarding in the recycling bin.
I hope Toral continues her success on expanding interest and access. — Trish Moran, Hinsdale
