The problem of plastic waste is a global concern. One statistic states that nearly one million plastic bottles are sold every minute. Carrying our own water bottles is a solution, but with drinking fountains few and far between in our cities, where can we refill them? According to Dimitri Nassisi, the answer has been right there all along. Nassisi is a recent graduate from a design school in Renens, Switzerland , where he was doing research on drinking fountains. He discovered that not only does Renens have a high number of fire hydrants, but they all use drinkable water. This gave him an idea. He set about constructing the Drinking Hydrant, an eye-catching blue fire hydrant that doubles as a drinking fountain. People can use it to fill their bottles with water and firefighters can attach hoses to it. There's even a small bowl at the bottom for dogs to lap up water. The Drinking Hydrant is currently in the prototype stage, but Nassisi hopes to bring it to cities worldwide.
