blueW.org

Founded in 2012 and based in Ottawa, Canada, blueW.org emerged from a straightforward observation: the world needed practical, scalable solutions to reduce single-use plastic waste from bottled water. The agency’s origins are rooted in the creation of a global tap water refilling network, which quickly evolved into a broader mission of designing outreach and education programs that make safe drinking water more accessible to the public. From its Ottawa headquarters, blueW.org has grown into a specialized communications and public relations firm that focuses on the intersection of environmental stewardship, public health, and community engagement.

Current Focus: Bridging Public Health and Environmental Action

Today, blueW.org operates as a boutique public relations and communications agency with a distinct niche in drinking water advocacy, sustainability, and stakeholder engagement. The agency’s work is driven by the belief that clear, consistent communication can drive behavioral change—whether that means encouraging people to choose tap water over bottled alternatives or helping municipalities build public support for water infrastructure projects. blueW.org’s team brings together expertise in public relations, environmental services, and renewables, allowing them to craft campaigns that resonate with both policymakers and everyday citizens. Their Ottawa base gives them a unique vantage point on Canadian environmental policy, while their network extends to projects that touch on global water access issues.
