NI Water’s Education team visited Crumlin Integrated College recently to tell pupils about how we can all help reduce plastic pollution by refilling a reusable bottle from the tap.

NI Water provided all pupils at the school with reusable water bottles to encourage them to refill from the tap therefore reducing the amount of single use plastic water bottles that could potentially end up polluting our seas.

According to NI Water 340 million plastic bottles a year would be saved if just 1 in 10 refilled just once a week.

Pupils at Riverdale Primary School learn all about the water cycle thanks to NI ...
