Founded in 2002 in southern California, Ethos Water donates 5 cents of every purchase to a water fund.
"Ethos® Water was created to help raise awareness ... and provide children with access to clean water," it says on the Starbucks website.
"So far more than $6 million has been granted to help support water, sanitation and hygiene education programs in water-stressed countries - benefiting more than 420,000 people around the world."
The recent report by Mother Jones sparked outrage from concerned citizens when it was revealed that a portion of Ethos Water was being processed by a plant in Northern California and collected from a local private spring. These areas are currently experiencing'exceptional drought' conditions.
