Tip of the Month - Drink Tap Water

Drink Tap Water

Bottled water does not just cost you at the till, it also costs the environment dearly

The average person will get through 168 single-use bottles of water in a year. As a nation we discard thousands of these water bottles every day – and rather than recycle them, we send up to 70% to landfill.

Bottled water is a thousand times more carbon intensive than tap, chiefly due to packaging and transport. Moving bottles of water around the globe adds about 100g CO2 per bottle.
