Let's Make Cyprus Green hasn't added a story.

How many plastic drink bottles have you bought, used and thrown away this past year?  

Across the world, humans are buying a million plastic bottles every minute and the number is rising. Every year, between 8 and 10 billion kilos of plastic waste ends up in the ocean, where it breaks up into small pieces that can no longer be recovered. The Mediterranean already holds up to 10 million plastic particles every square kilometre. 

 

And unfortunately, recycling these plastic bottles is not enough to combat the plastic crisis. Not everyone realizes that plastic can often only be recycled once or twice into a new plastic product. Every time plastic is recycled, the polymer chain grows shorter, so the same piece of plastic decreases in quality to the point where it can no longer be used .

This common misconception that plastic can be recycled many times over allows many to justify high use of single-use plastics on the basis because they are recyclable and therefore do not end up as waste. But no matter how much plastic we end up recycling, there will still be a high demand, it will continue to pollute landfills and oceans, and we will continue to see the rising emissions which are damaging our environment.

 

Luckily, with our #RefillCyprus campaign, we're targeting the source of the plastic bottle problem! Because what we need to do is stop depending so heavily on non-essential plastic - recyclable or not, and instead, help to prevent waste entirely.

 

Please help us tackle this crisis. Support our #RefillCyprus project by helping us install Water Refill Stations,  bringing FREE (absolutely zero cost to refill your bottle), FILTERED (making the tap water quality and taste much better and is completely safe to drink) and CHILLED (for those hot summer months) drinking water to public spaces in Cyprus.  

 

We have successfully installed one Water Refill Station on Yermasoyia seafront and have reached an agreement with the Paralimni, Aglantzia, Ipsonas and Ayios Tychonas Municipality to install a total of NINE more water refill stations.

 

All that's needed now is funding for the stations, which we aim to install by the end of the summer. Your donation will bring us closer to our goal - offering everyone an alternative to single-use plastic bottles.

 

Filtered tap water is purer and safer than water in disposable plastic bottles. Make a habit of bringing a reusable bottle whenever you go out. You will save money while helping the environment, a win-win!

Πόσα πλαστικά μπουκάλια έχετε αγοράσει, χρησιμοποιήσει και πετάξει αυτόν τον περασμένο χρόνο;

Σε όλο τον κόσμο, οι άνθρωποι αγοράζουν ένα εκατομμύριο πλαστικά μπουκάλια κάθε λεπτό και ο αριθμός αυξάνεται. Κάθε χρόνο, μεταξύ 8 και 10 δισεκατομμύρια κιλά πλαστικά απορρίμματα καταλήγουν στον ωκεανό, όπου διαλύονται σε μικρά κομμάτια και δεν μπορούν πλέον να μαζευτούν. Η Μεσόγειος έχει ήδη 10 εκατομμύρια πλαστικά σωματίδια ανα τετραγωνικό χιλιόμετρο.

Δυστυχώς, η ανακύκλωση αυτών των πλαστικών μπουκαλιών δεν αρκεί για την καταπολέμηση της πλαστικής κρίσης. Όλοι δεν συνειδητοποιούν ότι το πλαστικό μπορεί να ανακυκλωθεί μόνο μία ή δύο φορές και να χρησιμοποιηθεί ως νέο πλαστικό προϊόν. Κάθε φορά που το πλαστικό ανακυκλώνεται, η αλυσίδα του πολυμερούς μικραίνει, έτσι το ίδιο κομμάτι πλαστικού μειώνεται σε ποιότητα στο σημείο που δεν μπορεί πλέον να χρησιμοποιηθεί.

Αυτή η κοινή λανθασμένη αντίληψη ότι το πλαστικό μπορεί να ανακυκλωθεί πολλές φορές επιτρέπει σε πολλούς να δικαιολογήσουν την υψηλή χρήση πλαστικών μίας χρήσης επειδή υπάρχει η επιλογή ανακύκλωσης. Ανεξάρτητα από το πόσο πλαστικό καταλήγει σε ανακύκλωση, θα εξακολουθεί να υπάρχει υψηλή ζήτηση, θα συνεχίσει να μολύνει τους χώρους υγειονομικής ταφής απορριμάτων και τους ωκεανούς, έτσι θα συνεχίσουμε να βλέπουμε αυξανόμενες εκπομπές που βλάπτουν το περιβάλλον μας.

Ευτυχώς, με την καμπάνια #RefillCyprus, στοχεύουμε την πηγή του προβλήματος των πλαστικών μπουκαλιών! Αυτό που πρέπει να κάνουμε είναι να σταματήσουμε να εξαρτώμαστε τόσο πολύ απο μη απαραίτητο πλαστικό - ανακυκλώσιμο ή όχι, και αντίθετα, να αποτρέψουμε εντελώς τα απόβλητα.

Βοηθήστε μας να αντιμετωπίσουμε αυτήν την κρίση. Υποστηρίξτε το έργο #RefillCyprus, βοηθώντας μας στην εγκατάσταση σταθμών επαναπλήρωσης νερού, προσφέροντας ΔΩΡΕΑΝ (απολύτως μηδενικό κόστος για να ξαναγεμίσετε το μπουκάλι σας), ΦΙΛΤΡΑΡΙΣΜΕΝΟ (καθιστώντας καλύτερη ποιότητα και γεύση του νερού απο τον σταθμό, και απολύτως ασφαλές για κατανάλωση) και ΚΑΤΕΨΥΓΜΕΝΟ  (για αυτούς τους ζεστούς καλοκαιρινούς μήνες) πόσιμο νερό σε δημόσιους χώρους στην Κύπρο.

Έχουμε εγκαταστήσει με επιτυχία τον πρώτο Σταθμό Ανεφοδιασμού Νερού στην παραλία της Γερμασόγιας και έχουμε ήδη έρθει σε συμφωνία με τους Δήμους Παραλιμνίου, Αγλαντζιάς, Ύψωνα και Αγίου Τύχωνα για την εγκατάσταση συνολικά 9 περισσότερων σταθμών ανεφοδιασμού νερού.

Το μόνο που χρειάζεται τώρα είναι να χρηματοδοτήσουμε τους σταθμούς, τους οποίους σκοπεύουμε να εγκαταστήσουμε μέχρι το τέλος του καλοκαιριού. Η δωρεά σας θα μας φέρει πιο κοντά στον στόχο μας - προσφέροντας σε όλους μια εναλλακτική λύση από τα πλαστικά μπουκάλια μίας χρήσης.

Το φιλτραρισμένο νερό της βρύσης απο τους σταθμούς μας είναι πιο καθαρό και ασφαλές από το νερό των πλαστικών μπουκαλιών μιας χρήσης. Κάνετε συνήθεια να φέρετε μαζί σας ενα επαναχρησιμοποιήσιμο μπουκάλι νερού όποτε βγαίνετε. Θα εξοικονομήτε χρήματα ενώ βοηθάτε το περιβάλλον, είναι win-win!
