Shadi Bakour is on a mission to change the world, one thirsty individual at a time. His California-based company PATH sells bottled water in refillable metal bottles, with the goal of bringing both consumers and organizations a convenient, affordable and sustainable alternative to environmentally unfriendly plastic water bottles.
