Multipure, a trusted leader in the water filtration industry for over 50 years, is set to release the newest edition of its free comic book series, "Dewey, the Clean Water Superhero," on World Oceans Day, June 8. The second issue, titled "The Trash Titan Tumult," focuses on educating readers about the detrimental effects of plastic waste and marine litter on our oceans while inspiring the next generation of environmental heroes to adopt eco-friendly habits.
According to estimates from the United Nations (UN), between 5 to 12 million metric tons of plastic enter the ocean each year, with approximately 89% of plastic litter found on the ocean floor being single-use items. World Oceans Day, a UN observance, aims to foster public interest in the protection and sustainable resource management of our oceans, making it the perfect occasion for Multipure to launch the latest issue of their comic book series.
In "The Trash Titan Tumult," Dewey and his trusted sidekick, the Aqua Sentinel, embark on a daring mission to thwart the sinister plans of the Waste Wizard and the formidable Trash Titan, who threaten the world's oceans with their insidious plastic pollution. As Dewey harnesses his extraordinary water-based abilities, he stands shoulder to shoulder with Aqua Sentinel in safeguarding the delicate ecosystems of the oceans.
Zachary Rice, President of Multipure, stated, "By using a relatable superhero narrative, our aim is to inspire the next generation to take proactive steps in reducing plastic waste and protecting our oceans. While entertaining readers, the comic book underscores the importance of embracing more eco-friendly choices, particularly as the current condition of our oceans seems increasingly untenable."
Multipure's drinking water systems offer a sustainable alternative to disposable plastic water bottles, which pose a significant threat to ocean health. By enabling consumers to purify their tap water at home, Multipure plays a crucial role in reducing the volume of plastic bottles that find their way into landfills and, ultimately, the oceans.
Rice added, "While Dewey captivates audiences within the pages of our comic book, we encourage everyone to channel their inner superhero and become champions for the environment. Through small yet meaningful actions such as reducing single-use plastics, we can affect tangible, positive change for our oceans."
Dewey, the Clean Water Superhero, is a spirited raindrop imbued with the inherent powers of water. With a lighthearted and witty demeanor, Dewey endeavors to make a lasting impact, inspiring individuals to make conscientious choices for their health and the environment. In the inaugural edition of the comic book series, "The Thermoregulator," Dewey demonstrated his remarkable control over temperature regulation, harnessing water's innate capacity to stabilize body temperatures to thwart the nefarious plans of the malevolent Overheater.
Multipure actively participates in community events and charitable initiatives, committed to providing clean water access. The company supports local causes that align with its mission, such as the Candlelighters Superhero 5K and the Ronald McDonald Runnin' For the House in Las Vegas. Dewey also makes appearances at fundraising events to distribute free comic books and trading cards. Additionally, Multipure donates water filtration systems, complete with installation and lifelong filter replacements, to various organizations, including the new Ronald McDonald House and Miracle Flights in Las Vegas, the Ronald McDonald House in Baltimore, and the Boys and Girls Club in Flint, Michigan.
