Bristol already has drinking water fountains. The one in Millennium Square, installed in 2015, is currently saving around 8,000 plastic bottles a month from going to landfill. And almost 50,000 people, every year, choose water from the fountain rather than buying a sugary drink.

We are not saying bottled water is expensive but... on average, it costs about £1.50 per litre. Compare that to £0.0015 for tap water and you start to see the difference. So, if everyone who used the Millennium Square fountain last year had bought a bottle of water instead, that would be a staggering £72,000 spent on bottled water.

Imagine if we had more fountains, all over the place. Imagine it was the norm to carry a reusable bottle and refill! That sounds like a good place to live.
