GIBBEAU

As fellow Gibraltarian George and his young family frolicked in the sun and sand on Eastern Beach, his little baby girl stumbled upon a discarded plastic bottle. As babies do, she curiously put the old bottle in her mouth. Her horrified mum looked around, and all she could see were those monstrous undying plastic bottles. At that moment, she vowed to bring (affordable) bio-based water bottles to Gibraltar. After all, didn’t our beloved Rock deserve the highest respect?
