Why Italians love so much bottled water? I do not know. The fact is that we are the first in Europe for the consumption of bottled water.
Tap water is best, I had written long ago, and in this regard had also expressed the British Government, immoral bottled water.
And from England comes a virtuous example, The University of Leeds, one of the largest in the country, will eliminate bottled water by the end of the year.
The University students have in fact voted overwhelmingly to eliminate bottled water from bars, coffee shops and universities.
The decision will cost about 32,000 pounds of annual profit, but will save a huge amount of plastic introduced into the environment, regardless of how many miles are contained in a draft.
Last year had been about 200 000 bottles sold in the campus.
Alternatives? Drinking water fountains will be installed within the University and the student.

In a scenario in which we continue to propose the use water from our taps home, this looks like a viable alternative, the consumption of PET bottles.

This trendy attitude, is leading the transformation of our planet into a huge garbage dump, as well as over-exploitation of energy resources for the production of packaging. Fortunately Brandimage produced the first bottle made from recycled paper, the 360 Paper Bottle precisely.
