Hi Jake,


i strongly prefer paying 75 centimes for a ecologically sustainable water
bottle refill than being forced to buy a PET bottle filled with water
because there is no alternative.

Whether they survive or not is for the market to decide ... the end result
is less single-use plastic... which is our objective...

Best regards,

Stuart
