DYK?
As of September 2017, close to 100,000** plastic water bottles were avoided because people like you refilled your own.
That's enough bottles, laid end to end, to go to Victoria and back.
**based on average bottle height of 8 inches (20.32 cm)
Need to fill your reusable bottle?
Water bottle filling stations/drinking fountains are installed at a variety of locations around campus.
