Bonaire’s Captain Don’s Habitat is First to Participate in STINAPA’s Get-Back-To-Tap-Water Campaign
Earlier this year we reported on the new STINAPA campaign to get visitors to Bonaire to get back to drinking tap water, in an effort to reduce the amounts of plastic trash filling the island’s landfill. This week, Captain Don’s Habitat announced a new initiative in support of this campaign, being the first property to provide refillable plastic drinking bottles to each of their guests.
Effective July 15th, whenever new guests check in at the resort, they will receive a free sport water bottle with an explanation and recommendation to utilize Bonaire’s clean, great-tasting, desalinated sea water from the tap instead of purchasing commercially bottled water.
In conjunction with this effort, both Habitat and Rum Runners will cease the sale of commercially bottled water. The bottles sport both Rum Runners and Habitat’s logo, have a wide opening to facilitate the addition of ice, have an extended contour grip neck, and are BPA free. They are molded from 60 -70% home recycled plastic. Extra bottles will also be available for purchase in the Capt’s Locker and at Rum Runners Restaurant for those guests that would like to have extras or to take home as gifts to friends and will also be available for those wishing to participate in reducing plastic waste on Bonaire, but whom are not staying at Habitat.
