Dear Phil, A group of us have recently started an NGO called European Water Project to develop a similar scheme to that of Refill all over Europe. I have written a Progressive Web Apllication https://europeanwaterproject.org available in 8 languages for this purpose. We currently are only mapping drinking fountains, but want to add participating refill cafes and bars.
I had many many discussions with Gus Hoyt from the Refill UK Bristol headquarters and unfortunately the board of City2Sea is adamant about following a closed database scheme and requiring all affiliates of their scheme to sell Chilly water bottles. We believe the development and the maintenance of a database of participating cafes and bars is best done using an open data database and done collaboratively. I recently presented our project at the UN in Geneva in front of 850 students from 32 countries and received a positive response. https://www.facebook.com/EuropeanWaterProject/posts/129192181895515 Best regards, Stuart On Wed, 22 Jan 2020 at 14:21, Philip Barnes <p...@trigpoint.me.uk> wrote: > > > On Wednesday, 22 January 2020, European Water Project wrote: > > Hi Paul et. al, > > > > I would also be very supportive of this straightforward approach which > > would address many of the concerns regarding an over complicated tagging > > scheme covering cases that are often mandated by local legislation. > > > > One clean solution could be the following or something similar. > > > > drinking_water:refill_scheme=<yes/no> > > > > Thank you. > > Paul's response did clear up my reservations on the idea. > > The webpage makes it clear there is a sticker that is verifiable without > going in a asking.
