Ban the Bottle at School

Single-use water bottles can take hundreds, if not thousands, of years to biodegrade. Consider running a Ban the Bottle campaign to reduce the use of these wasteful products.

Tips:

• Create a display showing the number of water bottles your school uses in a week to increase awareness.
• Get water bottles out of vending machines and host a water taste test to engage students in understanding that tap water tastes great and is good for the environment.
• Consider holding a Great Big Gulp event, where every student takes a sip of tap water at the same time.
• Sell reusable water bottles for fundraisers, and fundraise for hydration stations.
