Instead of buying bottled drinks, why not carry a reusable water bottle and refill it with free municipal tap water whenever you need to?
Have you heard about the Blue W campaign?
Blue W is a community-based program that promotes municipal tap water as a healthy, easily accessible alternative to purchasing bottled drinks.
Participating businesses are willing to let visitors refill a reusable water bottle with refreshing tap water.
The Blue W program has many benefits:
- It helps to reduce plastic bottle waste
- It supports the hard work of local municipal water suppliers
- It makes water more accessible to the public
- It raises awareness about water issues
When you are out and about in the community, just look for the Blue W sticker in participating shop and restaurant windows to refill your reusable water bottle.
