Fight plastic pollution with The Big Issue Shop and Jerry bottle

With a million single use plastic water bottles bought around the world every minute, it's time to step up and sort yourself out with a reusable bottle!

In this week’s The Big Issue we’re celebrating Earth Day and all the wonderful things about our planet.

On April 22 each year, Earth Day is a reminder that the planet as we know it is constantly evolving and changing – and we all play a huge part in ensuring the Earth, its animals and its people continue to flourish.

Viewers of Blue Planet II, the latest documentary series from wildlife telly titan David Attenborough, were shocked at the astonishing images of plastic pollution in our planet’s seas this year.

His call for immediate action was echoed by Chris Packham in this week’s issue – and struck a chord across the country.

The Big Issue Shop is here to put planet before profit and help you wear your sustainability on your sleeve. We’re delighted to welcome Jerry Bottles to The Big Issue Shop.

A million single use plastic water bottles are bought around the world every minute and we need to change this environmental crisis together.

All profits from the sale of Jerry’s beautiful reusable water bottles go to making clean water projects in India and Tanzania.

Available in two different sizes (550ml and 750ml) the matt brushed and mirrored stainless steel bottles are a stylish way to keep yourself hydrated. Free from Bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, lead, and other toxins, the bottles come with a lifetime warranty. The sustainably harvested bamboo and metal lid means it looks great hooked to your bag, or on your desk at work.

If you’re more of an on-the-go type, the pure tritan bottles – available in red, green and blue – have a removable box on the bottom of the bottle, making them perfect for stashing your keys in at the gym.

Join the ‘jerry movement’ and enjoy a healthier water habit whilst you tackle the world’s plastic pollutants.

Get your own Jerry Bottle from The Big Issue Shop.
