howies
http://www.howies.co.uk
At howies, we believe that trying to be low impact as a business is just plain common sense. That’s why we introduced our tap water t-shirts and installed a tap in our Carnaby Street shop so that customers can come in and re-fill their bottles. After all putting water into plastic bottles and transporting it half way around the world is just plain madness.
We think the London On Tap campaign is great and hope that everyone will come on board and support it.
