Venice is implementing new water bottles to make the public more aware of the precious water.
| As summer sets in, tourists visiting Venice will find fountains feature unexpectedly high on this year’s sightseeing tours as the city council aims to reduce waste in the world’s biggest consumer of mineral water.
A new initiative to cut down on bottled water consumption, called “100% Public,” is being launched today, World Environment Day.
Tourists are being given empty water bottles with the message “Don’t throw me away, re-use me!” and a map indicating the 122 fountains flowing with water from the city’s aqueducts (see below), inviting them to quench their thirst directly from the source. |
