Throttle The Bottle Campaign

Throttle the Bottle is a great new initiative recently launched by some friends of mine to help reduce the environmental impact that thousands of throw away plastic drinking bottles have on Tanzania, where we work and live. Being part of the tourism industry, the services Nomad provide create a fair amount of this rubbish.  We would like your help and support to reduce the damage we are creating.  Nomad already provides clients with a re-usable plastic and/or aluminum bottle, but there is more that all of us can do to reduce environmental waste.  Safe, bulk drinking water is cheaper and dramatically reduces waste, as they can be re-used and exchanged for full ones. 

The "Throttle The Bottle" campaign is independent, unaffiliated and non-commercial, so one hopes we can appeal to as many people involved in the tourism industry as possible.

783,000 international visitors came to Tanzania in 2010.  If each visitor stayed a week and drank 2 litres of bottled water every day, then 11 million plastic bottles would be discarded.  Please help reduce plastic waste.

Well done to the Knockers, Sara and Squack for launching such a great initiative.
