Take your plastic bottle into a Refill Station to have it topped up
Positively Putney is helping business switch away from single use plastic
|
This Wednesday (16 June) is World Refill Day, an initiative which is part of a global movement working to reduce plastic pollution.
The Positively Putney team have teamed up with Refill to help local businesses reduce the amount of plastic they produce.
It believes reducing single-use plastics helps everyone benefit from cleaner streets, rivers and oceans.
There are several shops and bars in Putney that are now official Refill Stations - simply take in your water bottle and they will top it up to keep you hydrated.
Positively Putney has also helped supply local bars and pubs with reusable cups to use instead of takeaway plastics to help reduce the amount of waste in Putney.
World Refill Day is a global public awareness campaign which calls on businesses, brands and governments to choose to reuse and help make single-use plastic a thing of the past.
Choosing to reuse, can save millions of pieces of plastic and help keep our environment, oceans, cities and communities plastic-free for the future.

We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.
