Ahead of World Refill Day, on Tuesday 11th June, the Dr. Bronner’s team met up with our partners City to Sea in a London park, as we headed out on a walk to call for change and action on refillable products.
Starting with a mindful walking meditation to get us in the mood, we walked through the streets of London and stopped at three of the UK’s leading political party headquarters to deliver City to Sea’s message in a bottle. Delivered in an eco-refill bottle, each contained an open letter calling for legally binding targets on refill & reuse, publicly signed by their network of concerned NGOs, business leaders and ambassadors.
We hand delivered the message in an eco-refill bottle to the Liberal Democrats, Conservatives & Labour party. Along the way, we picked up any litter we saw on the ground and took advantage of the multiple water refill stations dotted around the capital, demonstrating how refill is accessible.
It was a great day to support our friends at City to Sea. Let’s make refill and reuse the new normal.
