People are paying that much to pollute the planet, with millions of plastic bottles thrown away each year, when they could be getting it free out of the tap.
Now, there are ambitious plans for a national drinking water network, where businesses all around the UK will let people fill up a bottle for no charge.
Costa Coffee and Premier Inn are two of the first brands to sign up to the scheme, and will be offering the service from March.
People will be able to use an app to find the nearest refill point, or look for a special sign in shop windows as the nationwide scheme is rolled out.
The scheme aims to prevent the use of tens of millions of disposable plastic water bottles a year, as part of efforts to curb the ‘harmful tide of plastic waste’ on land and in the seas.
