Next Friday, 16th June, is World Refill Day – ‘a global day of action to prevent plastic pollution and help people live with less waste. Together with our partners and supporters around the world, we’re building a global movement, inspiring action and demonstrating that the world is ready for a refill and reuse revolution.’
There are simple ways we can all get involved.
Use a refillable water bottle. The trick is to remember to take it with you!
Why pay for water? Tap water in the UK is safe to drink and largely free – there are water refill points at all mainline railway stations, there are refill points in the streets provided by local authorities (eg Bath, London), and most cafes will happily refill your bottle.
Why pay for a plastic bottle that will be used once and may not be recycled? (About 40% of these bottles are not recycled).
