REFILL LEWES<br />
WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE<br />
Refill <strong>Lewes</strong> – part of the nationwide Refill campaign –<br />
launched on Saturday 26th of May at Pell’s Pool, and to mark<br />
the occasion, they set themselves a challenge: to get together<br />
the largest number of Phils at any one time in history. We’re<br />
interested to know how many Phils turned up!<br />
That idea was a bit of fun, but the campaign behind it is<br />
deadly serious. The idea of Refill is to wipe out the need for<br />
single-use plastic bottles by creating a network of refill stations<br />
– bars, cafés and other businesses – where passers-by<br />
can drop in and fill up their reusable water bottles. Participating<br />
venues pop a sticker in their window to let you know<br />
that they’re part of the scheme, and will appear on the Refill<br />
app, so when you’re out and about you can easily locate your<br />
nearest one. The Brighton scheme launched in autumn last<br />
year and there are already more than 200 businesses signed up. To download the app – or to sign your business<br />
up to become a refill station – visit refill.org.uk.
