Water for the thirsty! A sticker, some kindness and tapped water

In July Diningguide.hu raised the question when we would refill Budapest, now they happily announce that the project has started and not only in the capital. Not only catering establishments but stores and offices can join the initiation.

Most of us have experienced getting thirsty while walking around town and when we asked for a glass of water, we received an unpleasant grimace accompanying it. Obviously no one needs this. Following several successful Western European examples – Bristol, Berlin, Hamburg – now a network is about to be established in Hungary which enables us getting our glass of water without a frown.

Because wherever we see the stickers, it means they provide a glass of water without any other consumption. Meaning we do not have to purchase mineral water or a soda. It also helps lessening the number of unnecessarily purchased plastic bottles.

There is no need to read frightening statistics, it is enough to imagine the number of plastic bottles in circulation. We buy it, regardless we need it or not, and these probably end up in the trash can after just a few minutes.
