Summary
We need a water fountain that makes a dfifference. In our effort to be environmentally friendly to cut down on the use of water bottles, a refill station located in our Commons area will actually eliminate the use of up to 19,200 PET plastic water bottles every single year. We need at least $950 in order to get the new fountain ordered and delivered to our Commons. #funddulac
JUST A DONATION OF ONE DOLLAR SHOWS YOU CARE!

The Impact
We want to make more than a one year impact. This is a change that you, our s Water bottles create about 55 billion waste bottles globally EVERY year. We can do something now, and immediately, making a statement about "Almost half of all our plastic doesn’t find its way to a recycling plant or a landfill. Instead it joins the waterborne trash heap that is killing albatrosses and other wildlife: the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. If it weren’t in the water it would be the largest landfill in the world. The things people drop on the ground get washed down sewers and through waterways into the ocean, where they are drawn into one of the garbage vortexes (the Great Pacific isn’t the only one)."

Other Ways You Can Help
All funds will go towards the donation of a water fountain bottle filling station to be installed on Campus. We have to get a good portion of our goal, in order to make the campaign continue into the next year. We will eventually replace all of the fountains on campus and we will map them on the app-http://wetap.org/
