Waypoint Homes Joins Water Conservation Effort with Help From California Residents
San Francisco, CA and Oakland, CA (PRWEB) May 13, 2015 -- Waypoint Homes has partnered with The Drop-A-Brick Project, a multi-agency collaboration committed to addressing the water crisis in California. Together, the companies are promoting a product called “Drop-A-Brick” – a lightweight, brick-shaped invention made of natural rubber, designed to make toilets more efficient when placed in the top water tank. The Drop-A-Brick Project launched its original campaign in the fall of 2014, and the corporate partnership with Waypoint Homes is the first to take shape.
Waypoint Homes launched its Drop-A-Brick campaign on Earth Day (April 22nd), investing in bricks in California and encouraging all residents and employees to purchase or donate a Drop-A-Brick. “We want to be a part of the solution in our markets that have been impacted by the drought,” said Doug Brien, CEO and Co-Founder of Waypoint Homes. “By raising awareness with this program, we’re offering an easy way for our communities to consume less water and lower their water bills. We hope that other companies will follow our lead.”
The partnership with Waypoint developed when Brien connected with the creative team behind the Drop-A-Brick movement, a collaboration between barrettSF, Level2 Industries, Pre-Future and Tube Media International. Jamie Barrett, Creative Director and Founder of barrettSF, has known Brien for years. “Doug and I share the same drive for preserving California’s water supply,” said Barrett. “Waypoint Homes is an ideal partner because of their strong sense of mission to ‘Do the Right Thing’ in promoting sustainable best practices.”
The companies view this partnership as just the beginning. “With Waypoint leading the way, we hope that other organizations will be encouraged to incorporate Drop-A-Brick as part of their sustainability efforts,” said Greg Hadden, Founder and Executive Producer at Tube Media International.
