The tap of the future if we do not change
A 12-foot-high ‘tap’ through which `flow` plastic bottles, towers above the crush of commuters, shoppers discussing bargains and locals looking for the ‘rick’ home at Bandra railway station (West). This tap, a joint initiative between the non-governmental organisation (NGO) Bhamla Foundation—working in the green space—and the Western Railway, is drawing eyeballs or in this day and age, becoming a selfie spot at the high footfalls space.
The tap installation, made of approximately 2,500 plastic bottles by the foundation`s volunteers, aims to make the public aware about shunning single-use plastic. Asif Bhamla, founder of the eponymous green outfit stated, “This is a message in a bottle or bottles, literally. We want to tell the public that currently we still have water coming out of taps. In the near future, you may just have plastic streaming out, once you turn on that tap. This is not being an alarmist but a realist.”
