Are You Serious About Banning Bottled Water?
The Detroit Zoological Society is. This is an indoor water bottle filling station in the education building:
This is me joyfully filling a water bottle and checking the counter: over five thousand bottles saved!
The trouble with filling a water bottle at a drinking fountain is that the flow rate is too low and the angle is impossible. These filling stations are hands-free solutions to all those problems - and look mom...no plastic bottles to recycle!
This is an Elkay (www.elkayusa.com) retrofit module - costing not quite $700 - to put on top of your existing water fountain yet still keep the water fountain!
There are free-standing modules for outdoor locations, too. Each allows water bottle filling plus two heights of drinking foundations.
Really? - What are you waiting for?
