Campus Leadership
The following
document is a petition from the Hult IBS, Boston student community to transform
our campus to a bottled water free location. In the same regard we present to
you the following facts -
Assuming that one person
buys one bottle of water a day, and that we have a total of 300 members in our
community (MBA + MIB + Faculty) we have come across some startling statistics
about bottled water –
-- The Hult
community consumes close to 100,000 water bottles a year
-- Out of these,
close to 85,000 are not recycled in a proper manner
-- To purchase
this bottled water, we are spending close to $140,000 a year
-- If we switch to
tap water, the cost incurred would be $50 per annum – not per student but for
the whole community.
Many educational
establishments like Harvard, Cornell, Berkeley, Princeton have already
implemented similar initiatives with outstanding results.
We would like to
thank you for your support in transforming our campus in a cleaner and greener
place.
Thank you,
Hult International Business School, Boston Community
Great idea. Hope we can get more filling stations installed if this passes.
