Hi Everyone!
Today I am super happy because I decided to give it a try the "Zero Waste" life style. Now, I am pretty a mess but I am learning it! So, I thought I could share a really important information so that you as well decrease your waste! We owe this to new generations.
Let's get it started.
You may come from US or any European countries and as I observed that filling the bottle of water from the sink is so usual for you. However, it is not the case for Turkey. Unfortunately, we have to buy water if we need any. I know that is bad news but as Koc University students we have a great opportunity if we do not want to waste any bottle or money just because we wanna drink water.
We have filtered water all over the campus and kitchens in the dorms and there is one filter water dispenser right next to Migros. I always go to this filter centers with couple of bottle to make sure that I have enough water for couple of days. I am so glad that we have these centers so that it has been a long time that I have never bought any bottle from Migros except the emergency.
This is the solution for the university but if you wanna get information for Istanbul unfortunately I do not have many. Even you go to Starbucks, if you ask to fill your bottle from the sink, they kindly ask you to buy water from the refrigerator which is a bad news for us. I know but I strongly recommend you to carry a bottle of water in case you wanna go out. Water is important and dehydration as well.
