Cindy Crawford Goes Eco for H2O

Supermodel Cindy Crawford fights for clean water with Pur reusable bottles

I’m Hilarie Barsky for Good Morning America, now my guest is Cindy Crawford.

Happy Pre-Mothers Day.

oh, thank you, yeah, great.

Do your kids do anything special?

Er, I’m sure I will be getting some object made out of clay. Yeah, I actually, I saw them working on it last week when I was volunteering at school, and they were like "you’re not supposed to be seen". And I was like, "Ok, I don’t see it, but yes, I know I’m getting a clay hand in fact.

They’re six and eight.

Yes.

And they have made you eco-friendly in a way.

Well, I think as soon as you become a mother, you start having more concern about the planet that you are bringing children, you know, to live on. But also the school that they go to is very environmentally aware, and it’s just a big part of the curriculum there, and it’s, it's kind of shown me that I need to pay more attention to it and we’ve learned from each other, you know, like we go art school, there is a beach clean-up every year and we all go, we do it together. And I think that they, if they saw me wasting plastic or whatever, they would say something, it’s kinda like smoking, you kown, how now, if you, if anyone smokes the 5-year-old, it's like, mom, don't, I mean I don’t smoke, but I've seen kids will... (yes, sure) My, for instance, my mother smokes, and my daughter is just so mad at her. (Really?) "how I told grandma to stop?". But it’s same with wasting plastic or, you know, running, you know, they know, turn off the water when you’re not, when you’re brushing your teeth, like, they don’t just leave it run. They already know that it's...

Wow! They’re just so savvy.

But I think, I think that's just, they just makes us seem like old-timeies that we don't, that we had to learn that, they’re just growing up in the world with that is the way it is.

And tell us you have developed this reusable water bottle.

Well, I teamed up with pure water filtration which is, er, they make water filters for home use. We/ teamed up to make reusable aluminum bottles. We called it “thirsty for change”. And even I started just myself, like, OK, I’m not gonna use plastic water bottles at home, I started just but easy. And I stopped six water bottles a day, six plastic water bottles which is over 2000 a year. I mean, it’s, and so, I thought, wow, and then my kids see me doing it, my husband sees me doing it, and other people who’re at my house. I just have one another picture, sitting out, and have a room temp warn, and I have one fridge, it's cold. And that’s what I give people now. And then, when you make one small change like that, you are like, well, what else can I do, it’s, it's empowering to do little changes like that.

What is interesting is you said that I threw out some bottles of water this morning and put them into the recyclable bin in my apartment building,(Right.) I couldn’t believe how many bottles I threw out.

It’s like 50 billion water bottles, I think, a year that we use in America, and only less than 15% are recycled. So that’s 86% are unrecycled. And you know, besides the financial implication, that plastic is made from petroleum, from oil. And I think that the numbers on that were something like, if, if we didn’t use, if Americans didn’t use all the plastic bottles, it would fuel 100,000 cars for one year. (It’s incredible.) And when you think about that, and just, and the cars, because the part/ of the cost of bottled water is the bottle that we throw out. And also, you know, there're a lot of health concerns about when those water bottles are heated up if you leave it in your car.

Yeah, we were talking about that. Sure.

Just like, just getting into the water, I mean the aluminum does not leach anything into the water. Plus, I mean, I think New York, everyone says the drinking water here is good, right?

It's great.

But where they test it is at the plant. It, and that's, sometimes, it’s going through very old pipes to actually get to your apartment. So even though, it might taste good.

Sure.

There's stuff that you might not see. (Sure) And when you filter water into pure water, it’s a three times filter, that’s a triple filtration system, and it actually tastes great. And you know that you’re not getting any lead or any the other, you know, things that could be lurking in old, very old pipes.

超模Cindy Crawford为洁净水和可再利用的瓶子而战。

我是早安美国节目的Hilarie Barsky，今天我们的嘉宾是Cindy Crawford。

节日快乐。

谢谢，很好。

你的孩子有没有为你做什么特别的事情？

我确信我会受到一些用粘土做的小物品。是的，实际上，当我上周去学校做志愿者的时候看到他们在做了，他们的表情好像是“你不应该提前看到的。”我的表情就好像是，“好的，我不看，但是我知道我会收到粘土手工制作品。”

他们今年分别是六岁和八岁。

是的。

他们用一种环保的方式给你一份特别的礼物。

我认为当你做妈妈的时候，你开始更加在意你养育孩子的星球，你知道，孩子们生存的地方。但是他们就读的学校也非常有环保意识，学校专门开设了环保课程，这好像告诉我，我应该更加关注这一点。我们都知道，就好象我们去艺术学院一样，每年都有一次清理海滩活动，我们都会去，大家一起行动。我想，如果他们看到我浪费塑料或者其他的任何东西，他们都会说的，就好象吸烟，你知道，如果你在五岁的孩子面前吸烟，他会说，妈妈，不要。我是说，我不西亚，但是我知道孩子们会。比如，我妈妈吸烟，而我女儿也为她感到非常头疼。“我应该怎样阻止外婆呢？”这就和浪费塑料一样的。当你看到水龙头开着的时候，你要把它关了。刷牙的时候，他们也会把水龙头关了，他们不会就让水白白流掉的。他们都知道的……

哇！他们理解能力太强了！

但是我认为，他们的行为让我们觉得自己好像老古董一样，我们必须像他们学习，他们长大了也会是这样的。

跟我们说一下怎样进行水瓶再利用活动。

我跟纯净水过滤公司合作，他们生产家庭纯净水过滤器。我们合作生产可再利用的铝制瓶。我们称它为“渴望变化”。我自己也已经开始改变了，就好象，我以后在家里不会再用塑料瓶了，这个开始并不容易。我停止了每天使用六个塑料瓶的习惯。我的意思是，我的孩子看到我这样做了，丈夫也看到我这样做了，其他任何来过我家的人都看到了。我有一张张图片，房间里也贴这警告，我有一个冰箱。现在我也这样对别人

说。当你看到那样一点点改变的时候，你就会想，我还可以做什么呢？你可以做到那样以点小小的改变的。

是的，我们都在做。当然。

就好象水，我是说，铝不会向水中分解任何物质的。另外，在纽约，每个人都说这里的饮用水质量比较好，对吗？

很好。

但是他们测试的是自来水厂的水。有时，水经过非常老旧的管道才输送到你家。所以，即使吃上去感觉很好。

是的。

有很多你没有看到的东西。当你将水过滤成纯净水时，有三层的过滤器，当然味道很好。你知道你不会铅中毒或者其他东西中毒。你知道，在老化的管道里确实有那些东西存在。
