Rejected petition Introduce plastic bottle vending machines to supermarkets in the UK

The amount of plastic bottles being thrown out every day is unbelievable! Approximately 13 billion plastic bottles are thrown each year in the UK. Most of them end up in the oceans and kill sea life. We are urging the government to introduce bottle vending machines in all UK supermarkets.
