How can we reduce the overuse of plastic water bottles and help our environment
  • Use a reusable water bottle that can be filled with tap water and refilled when needed
  • Drink tap water when you can instead of using a plastic water bottle
  • Begin advertising the effects of the overuse of plastic water bottles so people can make informed decisions when they want to buy one
  • Encourage water bottle companies to change their plastic and find a product that is better for the environment
  • Stop buying plastic water bottles
  • Use water fountains and refillable water bottle stations to fill washable drink containers
  • Understand the product you are buying before thinking that bottled water is better than tap water
  • Keep a filtered water in your fridge and never drink bottled water at home
  • Take a refillable bottle with you when you are out and keep hydrated the healthy way
  • Ban the use of single use plastic water bottles at sporting events or in schools
  • Write letters to water bottle companies encouraging them to change the way they package, produce and transport their water bottles
  • Develop better recycling programs so fewer plastic water bottles end up in landfills, oceans, lakes and rivers
