Step 3 EDUCATE, EXPOSE AND BUILD SUPPORT Reaching Out to Your Community Now it’s time to engage others in your community with Think Outside the Bottle and to ask them to join you in petitioning your mayor to cut spending on bottled water and build support for public water systems. Included in this Guide are two tools for your outreach: 1) the Think Outside the Bottle Pledge and 2) sample community sign-on letters to the mayor. Ways for people and organizations to get involved
Think Outside the Bottle Pledge The Think Outside the Bottle Pledge is the collective effort of major national and local organizations, cities, prominent people, communities of faith, student groups, and concerned individuals across North America. Think Outside the Bottle encourages people to choose tap over bottled water and to support the efforts of local elected officials to do the same at the city, state, and national level. Tens of thousands of people have taken the Pledge. The Pledge is an effective way to show your mayor the extent to which residents are opting for tap over bottled water. Community Sign-On Letters Community sign-on letters are a great way for organizations, businesses, influential residents and others to join the efforts to promote tap over bottled water.
