Unhealthy, environmental harmful and expensive….
DROP the habit of using plastic water bottles!

DROP is a youth led community action project that aims to raise awareness about the environmental impact of water bottles. This group was started as a partnership between two high schools in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. They aim to ban the sale and distribution of plastic water bottles in municipal buildings in the town of Lunenburg and are planning awareness activities about water and water bottles for the local area.

This project is supported and facilitated by the Global Education Association. for more information please see the DROP the Habit blog at http://dropthehabit.wordpress.com/
