Tourists making the trip to Venice in Italy are being encouraged to drink from fountains
Amid looming climate change concerns, authorities in Venice are attempting to reduce the impact their tourism has on the environment.
It's a bid by the local council to cut down on the use of single-use plastic water bottles.

Although the city only has about 50,000 residents, millions of tourists visit Venice each year with holiday-goers making up nearly 40 per cent of their waste.
Venice Tap Water has released a map that shows the locations of 126 safe drinking water fountains, all within 100 meters of each other.
The map is available on the campaigns website - visit here
