Bottled Water Free Day is March 10, 2011!
What can we do to make a splash on (or around) Bottled Water Free Day???
How about having a public event to announce that your municipality, university, school, parish or other public institution is going bottled water free?
Or planning a meeting with decision makers to help make that happen?
Or building a sculpture – a monster, a waterfall, a giant water tap – from empty water bottles and displaying it somewhere public and visible?
Or creating a big, public display of signed pledge cards and getting lots of other people to sign on?
Your school, university, college, parish, community group etc. can endorse Bottled Water Free Day
Join the Facebook Group and Page to stay informed!
Videos, action activities, pledge cards and other resources can be accessed here.
Whatever you do, please tell us (and your local media)!

my daughter’s school supported this last year by using http://www.raisingspirit.ca
we sold stainless steel waterbottles. 85% of school purchased. School raised money and we supported the cause
That’s fantastic, Gord! It’s great to encourage the use of re-usable water bottles and it is encouraging to see that such a high percentage of your school was on board! Thank you for letting us know.
Peace,
