Carbon Fast Day 3
2009 February 27
More than 150 billion litres of bottled water are sold worldwide every year. This contributes significantly to landfill and transport emissions. Say no to bottled water today and drink tap water – buy a refillable washable bottle to use instead.
Well I don’t buy bottled water on a regular basis, but I did buy a few bottles of flavoured water a while back and put them in my drawer at work for thirsty moments. I’ve only got one left now, and I’ve kept all the empty bottles and I’m reusing them. So I will aim not to buy any more but refill the old ones instead.
We recycle all our plastic bottles that can be recycled, we don’t have much bottled water, but lots of milk bottles.
