A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
The Drink Local initiative at Princeton is unique with its focus on reducing bottled water usage through providing local filtered water stations on campus, while simultaneously offering branded reusable ‘Drink Local’ water bottles with maps of all stations to incoming freshman. A retail version of the bottle was also recently introduced, which is available to all campus community members at the campus-affiliated U-Store. The initiative, which was kicked off in 2009, has continued to grow, with additional spouts having been installed each summer since the project’s inception. Today there are more than 150 stations across campus. For more information on the initiative, please visit: http://www.princeton.edu/sustainability/drinklocal/.
