While trying to solve a plastic bottle problem locally, Paul Baker ended up with a solution for the rest of the world, as well.
For years, the Mariposa Folk Festival in Orillia, Ont. would run into the same issue – thousands of plastic bottles would get consumed and then thrown into the trash or recycled improperly.
Although Event Water Solutions was founded in 2010, with help from the festival’s green committee, Baker introduced the first refill station at the 2009 folk festival.
