Plastic waste has increased in recent years, despite the fact that several companies have carried out campaigns to eradicate it. This increase was anticipated by several experts, so much so that even The Guardian newspaper said that in a few years we would have an endless world of discarded plastic. In an article published in that newspaper, it was explained that one million bottles are purchased in the world every minute, a figure that is difficult to manage. As if that were not enough, The Guardian also showed the waste of plastic and compared the bottles used in 2016. They said that if these were placed in a row, they would extend “more than halfway to the sun.” That is why several activists are alarmed and compare the situation to climate change. One of the graduates of the Lausane Cantonal School of Art in Switzerland, Dimitri Nassisi, created a system to help reduce the excessive purchase of bottled water. How to end plastic waste in the world? Dimitri Nassisi, a graduate of the Lausanne Cantonal School of Art in Switzerland, created a system to help reduce the excessive purchase of bottled water. Tweet this phrase.
How to end plastic waste in the world? For Nassisi, it is necessary to reuse containers, as well as change customs. Therefore, he proposes a source model to obtain drinking water. And according to him, the majority are small, scarce, inactive, deteriorated, ugly and unreliable buildings. In his project, Nassisi explains that this must be a common evil because “in Switzerland you can find some drinking fountains, but I don't think there are enough. The problem I often saw was that they were discreet and people didn't know where to find them.” In addition to this, some have Europe Cell Phone Number List come to the conclusion that drinking water fountains in parks are not convenient for them. That is why Nassisi wants to change this circumstance with his project called Drinking Hydrant. With it, he wants to multiply the drinking fountains and he also wants them to be pleasant for the people who want to consume from him. “Providing more water in cities would be a way to encourage people to consume more intelligently.” Nassisi recently found an opportunity to develop his project in an already established infrastructure: fire hydrants. They are related to clean water pipes, the entire infrastructure has internal treatment to guarantee drinkability and, in addition, we can find a fire hydrant on every corner.
This would require installing new fountains, since the new structure provides an outlet for the emergency hoses and, above, a double system: a button that, pressed to the right, allows you to refill a bottle and, to the left, drink directly. The excess water falls into a container so that the dogs can also take advantage of this facility. Individualism has been so potentiated that it can be seen in the massive purchase of bottled water. According to The Guardian, you now take charge of your own hydration means, “you open the backpack, unscrew the cap and serve yourself.” However, Nassisi wants to go back to the times when water was obtained by bending down and drawing the liquid from the well. For this reason, he remembers that people went to the community wells out of habit and because necessity forced them: there was no water in the houses and it was free. However, times have changed. Now one can buy bottles in any establishment, and even if someone preferred not to buy, it is more difficult to find a bar or a kiosk than a fountain that works. With the design that Nassisi has, he offers an image of healthiness. He hopes that in the future the consumer habits that are so easy to exercise can be changed.
