Edwin Broni-Mensah is a young entrepreneur came up with an idea to reduce the number of discarded plastic water bottles that end up in UK landfill. His business is trying to create a network of Manchester-based eateries that would give free access to clean tap water to those who carry a GiveMeTap aluminum bottle.
The idea works great in both ways: it helps people on the go to have access to fresh water for free in an environmentally friendly way and restaurants and cafés boost their client base. Even more on the social part, GiveMeTap gives 70 per cent of its profits to funding independent water projects in regions where it is needed most.
Broni-Mensah started out by canvassing restaurants and cafés in his local area of Manchester, but now he is planning to spread the scheme around the rest of Manchester and wants to develop it across the UK and eventually abroad.
