ASU recognizes the importance of providing free drinking water to promote access to clean water and support SDG 6 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. As part of its commitment to sustainability, ASU provides free drinking water to students, staff, and visitors through drinking water fountains located throughout its campus.
By providing free drinking water, ASU is promoting healthy hydration habits among its community members and reducing the need for single-use plastic water bottles. This initiative not only supports SDG 6 but also contributes to other sustainable development goals such as SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
The drinking water dispensers at ASU are designed to provide safe and clean drinking water to students, staff, and visitors. By providing free drinking water, ASU is also promoting sustainable practices and reducing its environmental impact. Single-use plastic water bottles contribute to plastic pollution and take a significant amount of energy to produce and transport. By reducing the use of single-use plastic water bottles, ASU is promoting responsible consumption and production and helping to reduce its carbon footprint.
Overall, the provision of free drinking water at ASU supports SDG 6 by promoting access to clean water and sustainable water management practices. By encouraging healthy hydration habits and reducing the use of single-use plastic water bottles, ASU is contributing to a more sustainable future for all.
