Install water coolers at more public places
Water coolers should be installed at public places, such as shopping centres and MRT stations, besides tourist destinations (Water coolers at tourist spots can help reduce plastic waste; June 22).

In our hot and humid country, the best way to stay hydrated is to drink enough water.
While I have noticed more people drinking from water bottles as they walk around, getting a refill may be difficult because water coolers are available only at key bus termini.
In countries such as Britain, France and Italy, water dispensers are easily available in shopping centres, public transport stations and office premises.
If European countries can do it, I see no reason that we who are living in the tropics cannot follow suit.
Drinking water from dispensers would help to cut down the consumption of sugary drinks, besides reducing the use of disposable plastic bottles.
