They even have a <a title=\"Reusable Water Bottle Fill Stations in San Francisco\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/viewer?msa=0&amp;mid=z7PcsY05hq4s.kRLEqhRfvdPo\">map<\/a> to help you find one!<\/p>\n<p>Sound cool? Totally! They\u2019re also partnering with TapIt to create a community of local businesses that offers free tap water to anyone stopping by or wanting to refill their reusable water bottles while on the go.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Hilton San Francisco Union Square installed hydration stations in all of its towers and the health club. Each fill station has a counter that shows how many plastic bottles are eliminated from landfills. By the end of 2014, they were at 35,000! They also stopped stocking guest rooms with plastic water bottles, which further supports their commitment.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco International Airport has installed reusable water bottle fill stations in every terminal. They also have a <a title=\"SFO reusable water bottle fill stations\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flysfo.com\/orphan\/hydration_stations\/index.html\">handy-dandy map<\/a> so you can find the one closest to you.<\/p>\n<p>See what great things come from working together to promote healthy living and a greener environment?
