TOP TWEETS: #REFILL
On average, there are 500 million tweets every day on Twitter.
With the Refill campaign expanding across the country to allow
people to top up their water bottles in thousands of places, we
look at what people are saying about #refill
Choosing to #refill doesn't just reduce plastic waste but also saves you
money! Go #OneLess today and make a personal pledge to ensure that
fewer plastic water bottles end up in the ocean
@OneLessBTL
Great that @networkrail is fitting water fountains at the UK's main rail
stations – starting at Charing Cross. Free drinking water + no plastics
#water #refill #healthycities
@PhillAMills
Great catch-up with @NorthumbrianH2O - plans to rock and roll #refill
out across the whole NE. Only limited by imagination!
@RefillBristol
Excited to see Llantwit Major join as our first official #Refill scheme in
Wales.
Beautiful place and here's hoping they are the pioneers that see the
initiative spread throughout #Wales.
@MrGreenGus
Our next step in the fight against marine plastics is the installation of a
water fountain half way round the attraction. Please refill an reuse on
your visit! #onless #refill #ocean @SkyOceanRescue #PassOnPlastic
