Lunch break for Paul, 25, this Tuesday, October 15. He is eating a sandwich, sitting on a public bench in the center of Saint-Brieuc. A water bottle by his side. “This allows you to just use tap water, it costs less and is less polluting. And by selling their bottles, brands are making money with a natural resource, a common good that should be free for everyone,” he says.
This young Briochin believes that the bill by MP Pierre Cazeneuve, which aims to ban small plastic bottles of less than 50cl, on January 1, 2027, “makes sense of the need to preserve the environment, to produce less plastic”. The elected Macronist presented it on Monday 14 October in the national assembly.
“It’s great, this proposal, because it’s really easy to buy these little bottles and then throw them out like that, like on the side of the roads, it pollutes a lot,” Éléonore exclaims. The art student has one hand resting on a small bottle of soda as she grabs a snack with a friend under a wooden kiosk. “I had a water bottle but I lost it. I intend to reuse this bottle to create a work, mix paint or add water, so I will reuse it,” she assures.
“It’s just that I forgot my water bottle at home”
Carine quickens her steps and leaves a bakery, a sandwich in one pocket, a small bottle of mineral water in her hand. “I never buy one, it’s overpriced, it’s just that I forgot my metal water bottle at home. I’ve been using it for a year and a half since I worked in Saint-Brieuc. Before there was a fountain at work. » The forty-year-old considers the elected representative’s proposal is too relevant. “Plastic and cardboard fill our bins, it’s too much! Even if it is collected, some of it ends up as waste and pollutes,” she states.
“We must reduce plastic bottles. This initiative by the MP may be a small drop in the ocean, but it is an interesting approach for obvious environmental reasons. You won’t catch me with a plastic bottle again! » swears Bruno, a sixty-year-old, serious and laughing. The bottle of sparkling water is included in the menu at the bakery next door. “It must be the first time in this period. At home we carbonate tap water, we fill our own bottles. It’s practical,” he concludes.
