New Milk Home ...

In our little town the mayor has given permission to build a little water/milk house in a children park that gives fresh water natural or gasified and also milk.
The park is there since ever but in the last years it has been ruined so much so while building the water/milk house, grass has been cut, seats have been put all around so that you can seat and read a book or just rest, new trees have been planted, lamps has been added and the park has been fenced in order to prevent to the tramps to enter in the night, closing time is 20.00 pm
The little house gives both milk and water, the dispensers have been built at the opposite sides of the little building.
In the milk side three is also a bottle dispenser for the people who want to buy milk but forgot to take a container, you can choose for a plastic reusable bottle lighter and easy to carry, a transparent glass bottle or a glass decorated one with cows and milk images (very cute).
All the bottles you can wash and reuse as many time you want, all the project is ecologic and also we are helping a farm bouying his milk.
Everyday we go to buy fresh milk, one liter for 1 euro, (we drink a lot at home) we can do it ourselves, we put the coin in the dispenser, put the milk bottle under the milk dispenser and psh a botton, milk flows and fill the bottle. If we want water we go the other side of the little house and we can have it free, water comes from the dephts, is cheked controlled and gasified, we can coose between fresh natural and fresh gasified and the bottles have a label with all the ingredients (calcium, nitrates ...)

The milk/water house is a nice idea because is ecologic and helps to stay fit, people take a walk everyday, have fresh milk with no conservants, make no waist because can wash everytime the same bottle and reuse (but in case we forget we can buy another glass one from the dispenser), we help the farm who sell us the milk, I am enthusistic, we go to buy milk every 2 days and Momichan is happy to have the occasion to go out and at the park she always meet kids and the more or less the same people who everytime say her hello, recognize her and she smiles happily and claps hands ^^

On the 19th at 18.00 pm comig back home from my mum's house after having celebrated the 10 months of Momichan, we passed at the park were the mayor and many people of the town were reunited for the official presentation of the new milk/water house and after the cut of the ribbon from the mayor, everyone could take the milk or the water.
For the occasion there was a little party with sandwiches, soft drinks, balloons for the kiddies, gadgets and so on.
Momichan had a balloon, an orange one, she was excited because the balloon could fly, I hanged it with a thread at the stroller and she played with it (you can see in the foto below), I had a pen, a cotton bag to carry the water bottles and a glass water bottle.


Then I bought my first milk bottle, I choosed the decorated one because is cuter ^^
With my new bottle I bought my first liter milk, it is better to boil it before drink, so they say, I just drink it as it is but if the future I will give to Momichan I will boil for her.
There were fotographers all around to make fotos of the mayor holding the milk bottle and they also made one with the mayor that accidentally in that precise moment was holding Momichan in her arms, (mayor said she loves children and Momichan was attracted by a pendant the mayor had at the neck), the foto appeared in the town paper togather with the article of the milk/water house, backside in the foto there's me talking with someone and looking at Momochan. GOSH !!!

This is the second "house" opened in our town but this second one has the peculiarity to offer also milk (the first one near the townhall is only for water).
The "Water Houses" are present now in so many places around Milano and many other towns, alreday we have data from which we know each family can save nearly 300 euro a year for the water (going supermarket and buying bottles) and last year 18000000 plastic water bottles have been saved (it means they have not been used)
