Plastic Water Bottles
Of all the switches, I think this is the one that most people are aware of! Plastic bottles are everywhere but they can easily be replaced by re-usable bottles.
Many places now allow you to fill up your bottles with water, free of charge. Look out for stickers in the windows of shops.
In Dorset, look out for people who have joined the Refill Dorset scheme. If you would like to join this scheme, check out the web link.
You can get re-usable bottles in all shapes and sizes now, check out mine below – excuse the scratches, they are well used! I’m not sure how I ended up with three ????, but the different sizes work well with different bags ????
From a beach clean point of view, I find a lot of bottles ???? Check out a couple below in the pictures.
From the campaign point of view, individuals can make the switch to water bottles. Businesses can ban plastic bottles from the workplace and, if appropriate, sign up to the Refill Dorset scheme to allow people to fill up their water bottles. Community Groups can ban plastic bottles from activities.
