Tips - Bottled Water Alliance

Just drink tap water.
Filtering your tap water with a high quality ‘under the sink’ water filter can cost as little as 2 cents a litre. Bottled water costs up to $2.50 a litre. Filter jugs can also be bought at major supermarkets, but they remove less impurities than ‘under the sink’ models.
Every year, millions of European carbonated water bottles are imported into Australia, causing damage to the environment and our wallets. A cheaper alternative is to filter your home tap water and then carbonate it with a Sodastream.
Always ask for tap water or filtered water when you’re in a restaurant.
If you are organising a local event, arrange to put on free water to minimise the need for people to bring bottled water to the event.
Lobby your local council to maximise the number of public bubblers in your local area and ensure that they are all working.
Councils - consider banning bottled water at events and council functions and follow the lead of city authorities like Manly Council in Sydney, Los Angeles and San Francisco in North America.
Corporations - give your staff a reusable water bottle complete with your logo on it, and help save the environment and promote your corporate social responsibility credentials at the same time.
Schools - arrange for free tap water or filtered water to be made available in resuable bottles instead of bottled water at your canteen.
Buy a reusable bottled for when you're going out and about in a car, on foot or on public transport, picnic etc.
