Vapur, creator of the “Anti-Bottle” — a foldable, flexible, reusable, eco-friendly water bottle – has partnered with Jovoto, Dwell Magazine and Opportunity Green to sponsor the Vapur Thirst For Design Competition. The contest challenges the creative community to develop designs that will make carrying tap water more hip, and encourage people to eschew plastic water bottles.

Founders Jason Carignan, David Czerwinski, and Brent Reinke believe that clean tap water is the best drinking water for you, your community and the planet. It takes 17 million barrels of oil each year to make water bottles for the U.S. market. That would be enough oil to fuel 1.3 million cars for a year. 37,800 18-wheelers deliver bottled water around the country every week. Only 23% of water bottles are recycled – a whopping 38 billion are land filled each year.

Think you’d like to participate? Go to the  competition page for more information and to submit your designs. I am looking forward to drinking from an Anti-Bottle created by a Design Crave reader – so let’s get to it.

The choice is up to you.

Sugar Cane vintage wash & Premium care enzyme detergent for Denim. Carton with 10 sachets of Vintage wash & Premium Care.

Prepare cold water or luke-warm water more than 30L, in an adequately large container (best not over 20 degrees Celsius), DO NOT WASH IN HOT WATER. By washing in hot water, the indigo blue dye will lose its natural shade. Mix the detergent with water. If you are worried about excessive indigo loss (usually not a problem with Japanese makes), then add a table spoon of salt to help the indigo hold fast (please no sea water, you don’t know what’s in there…). Add jeans & let it sit in the water for ~20 minutes. After about 2 minutes in the water, the enzymes in the ‘vintage wash’ is already starting to take effect – will notice the water becoming murky.Hand wash the jeans. Rinse your jean with cold water and ensure all the detergent is washed away.

Add the Sugar Cane ‘premium care’solution to water and soak the jeans in it for 15 minutes, then proceed to drying (do not rinse out the treatment solution).

Dry your jeans in the shade and NOT direct sunlight to avoid fading in the sun.

Graphic artist Ben Marsh made this awesome box for condoms and then made individual boxes for each condom in the shape of old Game Boy games. Made to promote sexual health in a fun way and make people want to buy the condoms for more than their just being condoms. These are the only ones made so far, but hopefully a condom company sees these and decides to pick them up. Hit the jump for some more pictures, including the equally awesome instruction sheet.
