What the petition asks

The consumption of clean water is a basic human needs and as such should be freely available to all members of society. There should be clean water available for the public in towns and cities in the UK. Millions of plastic bottles end up in landfills, or decomposing in oceans,fish, then us.

The evidence for the danger of the breakdown of plastic is overwhelming,
both in terms of damage to the environment and the food chain and even in human bodies. This is an unknown health hazard and any efforts to reduce the use of plastic will be beneficial.
