Dopper: one company, one mission, one solution
The Dutch Merijn Everaarts founded the company Dopper in Haarlem as an initiative against the enormous plastic waste in the oceans of this world. In the Netherlands, the consumption of drinks from disposable plastic bottles is enormous. The founder of the label therefore calls for the use of returnable bottles and tap water. The environmentally conscious brand's service goes so far that they have developed a Dopper app. This app shows places worldwide where anyone can fill their bottle with water free of charge. The Dutch company is one of the few that does not advertise with BPA-free or similar products - the pollutants they do not use. Rather, the label says exactly what each part of its bottles is made of.
Dopper drinking bottle - the unmistakable design
The design was not created in an office of Dopper. The founder Merijin Everaarts launched a tender in 2010. He asked them to design the perfect reusable drinking water bottle. The winner of around 100 designs was quickly determined. Rinke van Remortel won the competition with his idea. The graduate of Delft Technical University drew a beautifully shaped bottle. The prototypes were created according to his designs. Already in October 2010 Dopper started the sale of the first original drinking bottles. The Cup has a double function with the models. Firstly, the neck of the bottle tapers upwards so that you can drink directly from the bottle. If you remove the cup together with the curved cap, you have a practical drinking cup. Without the cup, the water bottle has a wide neck so you can pour your water comfortably into the cup. Depending on the model, the bottle can be transformed into either a drinking bottle or a thermos flask with cup. Each Dopper drinking bottle consists of three parts, which together make a shapely, reusable water bottle.
The different models of Dopper water bottles
The form is always the same. Why should the brand want to change this successful model? Because the design is well thought-out, innovative and fantastically beautiful. The colours and materials, on the other hand, change. The Dopper Original is a bad water bottle. Turn it up, fill it with water and enjoy it. The bright colours are fun and motivate you to drink water anytime and anywhere. The stainless steel versions Dopper Steel and Solid Steel look classically elegant and are almost indestructible. Do you love ice-cold water in summer and hot water in winter? Then the Dooper Insulated is exactly the right bottle for you. The double-walled thermos bottle is made of stainless steel on the inside and plastic on the outside. So it feels normal for your hands, even when the contents are hot. It stays that way for up to nine hours. The cooling even lasts up to 24 hours. So you can enjoy your drink whenever you want on the go.
In these sizes you get the Dopper water bottles:
- Dopper Original: 450 ml
- Dopper Insulated: 350 and 580 ml
- Dopper Steel: 490 and 800 ml
Practical accessories for Dopper Drinking Bottles
If you like running or cycling and want to take your water bottle with you to sport, then the Dopper Sport Cap is a good purchase for you. You simply exchange the usual lid for the sports lid. And you already have a bottle that accompanies you in every sport. Drink water on your bike, take it to the beach for surfing or use it in the gym. With the Sport-Cap nothing goes wrong, no matter how hard you train. Are you more of a trekking type or do you like hiking? Then the Dopper Carrier bottle hook will inspire you. You put the ring over the neck of the bottle and attach the bottle to your backpack or belt with the carabiner hanging from it. So your bottle is always ready to hand.
A small bottle goes around the world
In the Netherlands, Dopper drinking bottles are already part of the street scene. The design and the cheerful colours are popular everywhere. The neighbouring countries followed quickly, but that was not enough for the brand's CEO. He himself moved to the USA and worked the market there. Rightly so, because the Americans have the largest consumption of disposable plastic bottles in the world. In the meantime, the branded drinking bottles can even be found in Japan, Brazil and the Scandinavian countries. Slowly but surely Dopper carries his message around the world, true to the company motto: "The bottle is the message".
Three parts - easy cleaning
At the top of the list of positive properties is the cleaning of Dopper drinking bottles. To rinse, take the three individual parts apart and clean them. You can put them up to 65 degrees in the dishwasher or clean them by hand. A little hint for stronger deposits: Mix some baking soda with water and soak your drinking bottle in it for a few hours. With the bottle brush the dissolved impurities or limescale residues can then be removed very easily. Then rinse the bottle with clear water. Rinse with some apple vinegar and your Dopper bottle will look like new again. If you don't use a bottle for a while, keep it with the lid open. This way the bottle can always be well ventilated and is ready for use at any time.
Dopper and the Cradle to Cradle certification
Dopper got it: The C2C certification for your original drinking bottles. San Francisco is home to the Cradle To Cradle Products Innovation Institute, which examines and evaluates products for their production standards. What do you get from CtoC certification? You can trust that all materials are harmless to your health and the environment. The production of the drinking bottles is carried out under consideration of social aspects and with a view to sustainability. If you decide to discard your Dopper water bottle at some point, all components can be recycled.
The certified products have to meet some strict criteria for this:
- Recyclable in the technical cycle
- Use of renewable energy sources and good carbon management
- Use of healthy materials for people and the environment
- Production takes place in the sense of social justice
- Responsible use of water
Transparency: the materials of the Dopper bottles
The body and lid of the original drinking bottles are made of polypropylene, also known as PP. This plastic is fully recyclable. The drinking cup is made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, ABS for short. It is a thermoplastic plastic. The seals are made of TPE, i.e. thermoplastic elastomers. All these materials can be classified as harmless to health and BPA-free. In addition to the original bottles, there are also the drinking bottles with body and lid made of stainless steel. The Dopper Solid Steel convinces with a body made of 18/8 stainless steel and a cup made of tritan. This is a shatterproof and tasteless plastic. In the Dopper Steel drinking bottle, the bottle and lid are also made of 187/7 stainless steel. The Insulated Thermos bottle is made of 18/8 stainless steel inside and PP outside.
Drink water, live healthy and protect the environment
Your body needs water, that's uncontroversial. But who says you have to buy it in disposable plastic bottles at the supermarket? Nobody! The label Dopper has the mission to convince you and others to drink water from the tap. No production, no transport and above all no disposable bottles - that's good for the environment and your health. The colourful or robust drinking bottles make water and sustainability especially tasty. Choose your favourite bottle from our online shop. Or buy two in different colours and combine the individual parts of the Dopper water bottles just the way you like it.

Yes, she's done many solo performances, and, yes, I've toured with her at Second City and put up several shows with her on the Second City etc stage, and the Second City Mainstage. But Jackie is a wonderful force and a dear friend, and this conversation is honest, funny, grounded, real, and very Jackie Hoffman. Strap yourself in.

Today's guest is Nate Herman director, writer, musician, artist, and fine human.

Susan Messing and Joe Bill
My guests are master improv teachers Susan Messing and Joe Bill. Susan, Joe and I worked together at iO, The Annoyance Theatre, The Second City, and improv festivals across the world. They're former ADD guests, but this time we gathered for a powerful reason: The past few months have seen women improvisers express their frustration and anger at the prevailing culture of sexual harassment in improv schools and theaters across the US. We met to discuss the culture of women's sexual harassment in our improv community. Our intention was to have an honest and heartfelt discussion, to voice our culpability, and to look at our past actions and present opportunities to facilitate the creation of a healthy, truthful inspiring environment in the classroom, on the stage and in the world in which we so joyfully create. We engaged in this discussion with all the humanness that can be expected during this extraordinary evolutionary time.

Rose Abdoo Interviews Dave!
This is a very special ADD Comedy with Dave Razowsky in that it's NOT an ADD Comedy with Dave Razowsky. This episode is actually ADD Comedy with Rose Abdoo INTERVIEWING Dave Razowsky. We thought what better idea to start the new year than start the new year with a start! Rose Abdoo is an alum of Second City, she's been in Gilmore Girls, Scandal, The Grinder, Hotel Transylvania, The Comeback, Gray's Anatomy, and had a very moving and personal turn on Parenthood. I discussed her challenge with cancer on my 2015 interview with Rose's husband, writer John Matta. Rose asked our mutual friends what questions they'd ask if they were to interview me. The questions are probing, funny, moving, surprising, and lovely. Just like Rose Abdoo.

John Matta
Today's guest is writer, artist and friend John Matta. I thought I'd be talking with John about his experiences writing for Jamie Kennedy, Andy Dick, Martin Short, or Brad Garrett, but like any great improv scene, things didn't go in that direction. Instead we talked about the journey John was on while his wife (and my dear friend) Rose Abdoo was going through her experience with cancer. This moving episode will inspire you and remind you how great it is to have supportive and loving people in your life, and how you never know where these challenges will take you. For example, have you seen John's "Matta Napkins"? They're on line and come Xmas they'll be in a book! This is one hell of a moving episode.

I am so enjoying my evenings. TV has reached the point that with rare exception it is beyond boring. At night this allows me to sit on the pool deck taking in a nice cool breeze, while rereading Blackstone. The endless acquisition of knowledge is my mistress, and I love him. We make choices for whatever reason - and somehow I find great joy and comfort in my mistress. Yes, life would have been different had I found the right person for a life time together - but it did not happen - so I embrace my mistress of knowledge.
I was senior in college when my professor tried to get me to continue for a masters in sociology, with a promise she would get me into a good university for my doctorate. A true sociologist embraces anthropology, archaeology, history, political science, psychology, and even more. She saw this in me as my papers read as if I were a student in each of these fields. While I did not know the term back then, I always strived to perceive events or findings through the eyes of the people or group we were looking at, and not through the eyes of modern times. In part this is contrapuntal analysis.
Far too many anthropologists during a dig will find bones and make findings based on modern day notions. It seems to me the sociology of cavemen will always be clouded in mystery. We cannot possibly conceive of what their life was like in order to be able to interpret bones. The most we have are cave drawings, which even then are subject to interpretation. Were they instructional drawings for younger cave people, were they art, or were they just drawn out of boredom. But they do tell us something of their ways.
The depiction of sex was not taboo - drawings of both homosexual and heterosexual sex are common. One could present a hypothesis that such drawings tell us that they were more concerned with daily survival than creating rules about private matters. If this hypothesis is correct, then one might further conclude that once man found safety he/she had time to create laws and rules of behavior. An interesting dichotomy because it would then seem once man found safety from the elements he was then subjected to a new terror - himself.
Senator Graham represents the State of South Carolina. When he first announced his interest in running for President, the Right tried to make a big deal over the fact he never married - the innuendo game began.
Pubic service can be a very rewarding mistress. Anthropologist, archeologists, primatologists, and many more field professions never marry beyond their field of study. They find peace in being in the field discovering and unravelling knowledge.
Why do we have to ponder if being single means you are gay, lesbian, asexual, bisexual, transgender non-binary. Why is it impossible to conceive of a single older man as being simply a cisgender heterosexual?
When man was given freedom from defending his clan from the elements and competing clans, he was afforded the time to judge based on what the leader decided is normal, and not based in science. They became safe from the elements and opposing clans, but not from the ignorance each held in themselves.
All over this country judges and other elected officials remain single. Some marry temporarily to be able to move up the political ladder, only to divorce later when the marriage is no longer needed.
Those who embrace their profession as a real mistress and find joy in their mistress will serve well, while those who never learn public service can be a wonderful mistress will find themselves misguided in their public service.
Being single means nothing about a person's sexuality. With such a high break up rate before marriage and such a high divorce rate after marriage, some people find greater utility in remaining single and being married to their profession or public service. I say hats off to these people.
While people love to assume all priests have sex, this is not true. Most are married to their profession. Celibacy is not a punishment, but a choice. While I believe the reason behind celibacy in the Catholic church is dishonest, it nevertheless makes for a better church. If all priests could marry, they would not be able to travel the world and do the work they do. I could not imagine the Jesuit Order surviving if they were allowed to marry.
But whether in your profession or public life you remain single because you are not cisgender heterosexual, it is time to accept yourself and stop worrying what others may think.
I have lead my life this way. I dismiss the bigots - for they are too ignorant to know their misguided ways.
In short, I always say, if you cannot be yourself who can you be? Stop cheating yourself and live your life as you were born. I am not suggesting calling everyone you know and announcing all of a sudden you are transgender. Caitlyn Jenner made it into a circus. Just live your life. Take a chance.
If you take a chance on yourself - you may find you can have two mistresses - your profession and your lover. For if I ever find anyone they will have to accept my insatiable desire for knowledge and the fact I am a prolific reader will not end. He will have to share me with my nonhuman mistress which is my quest for understanding.
I love these kind of posts even though I know fewer people will read it. I get it, because I see the numbers - the blog readers in general - meaning not all - are after stories which put people in a bad light or hurt them.
But I also know more than half of my regular readers will read this and ponder my words. So I am good.

i have recently started chewing and spitting food, its so addictive and i dont know how to stop! just another way the ED is progressing. i am extremely ashamed and embarrassed about this and cant bring myself to tell my healthcare professionals. anyone has this problem too? i feel so alone.
HI. I know and understand what it is to chew and spit. It seems like such an answer to the problem of not wanting to ingest calories, but like most things it is addictive. I think your therapy team will understand. It is not an unknown symptom. Others do it and you will feel relief it you are honest with your team. I wish you wouldn't heap guilt and shame on yourself. It is just another tactic of the eating disorder. Bringing things to the light, brings opportunity for healing and help. Your team can not help you if they don't know what you are struggling with. Please. You are a special person. You deserve help. Shame brings hiding and hiding brings isolation. Isolation brings depression and more of the same. Take the chance to tell your team. You might be surprised with the way they respond. I know. It seems gross. Taking food into the mouth chewing it and then spitting it out. No one really knows I do it but I have at times told my team. My dietitian knows. They understand. Go ahead and take the risk and get the help you deserve. Butterfly67
I agree with butterfly67's excellent post - you don't deserve the embarrassment and shame that you feel. If you can gather the courage to be open with your team, I don't think you will regret it. I know it's hard to believe, but there are others who do exactly what you are doing, and your team will probably have treated this exact same issue before!
Don't feel alone. Many of us have been there, and we all have stuff to work through. :-)
It is important to respect others' actions and posts as we are here to support one another. Agreeing with PianoGirl and Butterfly67, you can get through this and you are not alone! Use your support and if you need any additional support the NEDA Helpline is always happy to help and you can reach them at 1-800-931-2237 M-Th 9AM-9PM F 9AM-5PM EST.
Good luck, and you can do this! :)
I have this problem, too. Not sweets or anything I want to eat, just crumbs.
This part of the ritual started to replace the purging of the bulimia. Yes,it is a compulsion and addictive, and I am more ashamed of it than I was of purging. And I have not been able to tell any counselor about it, either.
thanks for the support. i will see my doctor in a few days and i am hoping i will be brave enough to tell. that i try to eat more than i currently am but cant swallow and end up spitting.
i managed to mention it but didnt say how severe it was. it was also a casual meeting so we didnt go into it. im still struggling a lot with this. spending like $30 a week on food that doesnt go down my throat. :(
Good for you for taking the risk to begin to talk about it. It only has forward movement to go. You start off slow and little by little you will be talking about it more and more. Let your therapist know you need help bringing it up and that you want to talk about it but that you are nervous to. Great start. I am proud of you. Good job. Keep up the good work. Butterfly67
Hi I suffer from chewing and spitting for nearly ten years. I do not know how to swallow food anymore but I want to recover. Did any of you recover from this? And what did you first try to eat like in the beginning? I am afraid my body won't accept it. I tried for the first time to swallow some food last night but my belly ended up so distended that I reached for laxatives.
I did the same thing when I tried to eat after chewing and spitting for so long. It wasn't for as long of a period as you, but I still had problems. Good news, though - I've recovered and can eat normally now. As to what to begin eating, that's probably a question for your doctor or therapist. Sorry not to be able to give any more help than that.
Hi- I just read through all of the posts on this thread and I want to say that I am so impressed with how brave you all are for admitting your struggles with chewing and spitting, and reaching out for help, in spite of the guilt and shame the ED piles onto you. I struggled with bulimia for the first 10 years of my ED, and then for over 20 more years with restrictive/anorexic eating, but I have no personal history with spitting and chewing. However, I am also a recovering heroin addict, and your description of chewing and spitting being addictive really hit home with me, and I get it. I understand how it could be a compulsion that will-power not only fails to end the behavior, but only seems to make it worse, as is the case with other addictions. There is a 12-step program that really helped me with the addictive qualities of my own ED, and perhaps you might find a 12-step approach useful, as the 12-steps are a proven treatment for many addictions people suffer from. I am biased towards the 12-steps, because working through them saved my life more than once, and in my opinion, they make a great adjunct to individual therapy and work with the doctor's and dietitian's on your treatment team. I honestly believe everyone should work through the 12-steps with a sponsor, even with no addiction issues, because they become a way of life that builds integrity on personal accountability. I don't know if I said anything useful, and like I said, I never had issues with chewing and spitting, but I know what it's like to have an addiction to negative behaviors, and to be unable to stop no matter how hard you try day-in-and-day-out. I hope everyone who was honest and posted on this thread in spite of how hard it was to admit, soon find healing and recovery in the place of obsession and despair. Take care:)
When I was much younger I used to chew and spit. For me it was a precursor to my full-fledged eating disorder. I did it for awhile on and off, until I became Bulimic at age 18. Fast forward I'm 40 now and finally in recovery. I hope you find help!
I am the opposite. I have had bulimia 18 years. I am 50 now and have been seriously trying to recover for almost 3 yrs now. I can go about 7 weeks without symptoms and I don't restrict anything. Then body image issues kick in and I relapse. I am really afraid of losing teeth at this point.
Just wanted to welcome you to the forums. I'm glad you decided to come here and share. Recovery can be so difficult and unfortunately relapse is common. I hope you are able to be gentle with yourself as you continue to fight this- it is a process. I just wanted to see if you were currently working with a mental health professional or doctor, or what your thoughts were about seeking support? I know for me, that has made all the difference in being able to maintain recovery. I hope to hear from you again soon- we're here for you <3
Hi victimofdietculture - your post had to be edited because you included specifics about disordered eating which can be triggering to others. You can take a look at our Community Guidelines here: https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/forums/community-guidelines. We also want to make sure you know about the NEDA Helpline! In addition to these forums, please feel free to contact the Helpline at (800) 931-2237, open Monday-Thursday 9AM-9PM EST and Friday 9AM-5PM EST. During these hours you can chat with us also by clicking the chat now option at the top right hand corner! And please continue posting!
I have the same habit too. It can make you feel so ashamed. I can relate on how addicting it is. Maybe figuring out it's root cause and what you can substitute it with would help?
I do that sometimes too, but not always. I understand why it feels addictive-- you get to "pretend" to eat without actually having to do it. I don't have any recommendations for stopping, but please try to tell your providers. I know the embarrassment and shame can feel overwhelming, but they just want to help you. If you don't tell them, they can't.
Is also considered purging. I used to do it.

If you've ever stumbled upon The Only Way Is Essex or perhaps the iconic series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, then you'll no doubt know exactly who Gemma Collins is.
The reality star is one of the loudest, brashest and most dramatic characters on the ITVBe show, and she has made a name for herself with her hilarious antics.
Earlier this week Lucy Kennedy announced that Gemma will appear on the new season of Living With Lucy on TV3.
To say we're excited about this would be a major understatement…
With a while to wait until the episode actually airs, we've come up with a few reasons why it will make for pretty entertaining viewing.
Here are 7 reasons why Gemma Collins will be the best celeb ever to feature on the show:
1. The drama
Madonna done it and I done it ✌🏻 when I tell you I'm Bridget Jones in an Essex girl it's finally confirmed ✌🏻best and worse moment for me ✌🏻 pic.twitter.com/TpJXJxmYL5
— Gemma Collins (@missgemcollins) October 22, 2017
If you've ever seen an episode of TOWIE, or Gemma's memorable stint on CBB, you'll know – this gal brings the drama.
Between having blazing arguments with her friends and housemates to dishing out cold, hard truths, Gemma is easily one of the most entertaining reality stars around.
If her infamous fall through the trap door during the Radio 1 awards and subsequent threats to sue the BBC isn't enough drama for you, we don't know what is…
2. Her spectacular one-liners
Gemma is famed for her spectacular quips, and we have no doubt she'll have plenty to throw around during Lucy's three-day stay in her gaff.
Who could forget her screaming 'I'm costrophobic Darren!' after she was asked to step inside a giant cage on Celebrity Big Brother?
3. Her meltdowns are legendary
If there's one thing we're expecting to see, it's Gemma having a meltdown when something goes wrong.
Just take a look at her highlights from her time in the Celebrity Big Brother house and you'll be reminded just how much of a stink she caused after being told she would only have access to hair straighteners.
4. Romance with Arg
Gemma's on/off romance with James 'Arg' Argent has been widely publicised in the past, and just a few weeks ago, the pair announced they were official once more.
As filming for Living With Lucy takes place later this week, we'll get a look into Gemma's triumph in finally getting Arg to make a commitment.
5. The insider gossip
So much of TOWIE is focused on discussing the secrets of the Essex locals, but a lot more happens off-screen.
Gemma will no doubt be dishing the dirt on what her co-stars on the hit reality series are really like when the camera's aren't rolling.
6. Lucy living it up in Essex
If there's one thing we're majorly excited about it's getting to see Lucy Kennedy embrace the Essex lifestyle!
We've no doubt that Gemma will be dressing her up in her own range of clobber, as well as sharing details of her career as a clothing shop owner.
7. A glimpse into her real life
As with many episodes of Living With Lucy, sooner or later, the glitz and glamour eventually gives way to show the real person away from the spotlight.
We can't wait to watch Lucy getting candid with Gemma, particularly because of how open and honest she is.
It's going to be quite the episode!
