The solution to the bottled water epidemic is (to return to) reusing water bottles, not to manufacture yet more millions out of a different material.

Reduce, reuse, recycle. In that order

I bought four cheap water bottles from supermarket, one for work, one for home office, one for bedroom and a spare.

Drinking bottled water in the UK is insane, we have some of the best water in the world and people spend a pound on something they could get out the tap basically free.

How about ensuring tap water is actually drinkable and stop water bottles altogether?

It still boggles my mind that people continue buying water bottles where tap water is totally ok (and in some case, better than bottled water).
