We believe that water is life, and that access to water should be free. We also believe that the seas, the environment and ourselves should be protected against plastic contamination. Our vision is to provide a viable and alternative solution to local residents and visitors to the island, to have access to drinking water, whilst creating a shift in consciousness towards a plastic free society. We will continue to use this platform to call for the following constructive legislative changes: We encourage the local government to invest in water purification plants that will ensure that water is safe to drink from the tap. We challenge the water bottle producers to take the lead in plastic waste reduction by setting up the infrastrcture to return and reuse plastic water bottles. We encourage these same producers to shift to returnable glass bottles rather than plastic. We encourage the local government to support local existing bottle factories that have been shut down due to the monopoly of the global beverage industry, to become the missing link in the chain of bottled water suppliers on the island of Mallorca.
