Studies show that even with the Blue Planet II initiative that was rolled out, only about one third of britons are carrying refillable water bottles when out. While more information has been put out to increase the population’s awareness of the harm plastic bottles can cause to the environment, less than half of the country feels bad for continuing to use disposable bottles. Even less at only seventeen percent are actually committed to making any changes.

Key Takeaways:

• The survey found large amounts of guilt in 25 to 34 year olds in using a non reusable bottle.
• A third of those same respondents don’t use a reusable bottle because they are too big or bulky
• They are still trying to figure out how to make it more convenient for people to fill up on the go.

“A survey from Keep Britain Tidy and water filter supplier BRITA has found that despite the media attention and public consternation about plastic in the wake of Blue Planet II, only a 36 per cent of people carry a refillable container.”
