Scruff, a thirteen year-old border collie, spent his whole life chasing sticks. However, his owners, David and Yvonne, were advised by their vet to stop throwing him sticks, as they could cut his mouth. That didn’t stop Scruff’s natural instincts, however.

"In Venice, which welcomes millions of visitors each year, tourism contributes to between 28 and 40 percent of garbage production depending on the season, according to local government data—including piles and piles of plastic water bottles."

"To combat the waste, local authorities now promote the use of refillable water bottles by calling tourists' attention to the vast network of drinking water fountains dotting the squares and alleys of the watery city."

..."The average adult drinks almost a litre of bottled water every week. Researchers point to a growing perception that spring water is healthier, less processed and better tasting than that from the reservoirs."
