North Bay Reusable Water Bottle poster campaign
April 16, 2009, North Bay Blooms launched the North Bay reusable water bottle poster campaign to promote refillable bottles over disposable plastic bottles. 18 local groups and individuals who have been using or promoting environmentally positive projects or reusable water bottles are displayed on the posters to be distributed around North Bay.
Posters are free (subject to availability) and if you would like a copy please let us know on our contact page.
