Dopper exists to solve something, not sell something. We exist to solve the problems caused by packaged water, and the pollution it creates in our world's waters. We are here to end packaged water. We do this by getting people to drink from the tap, stopping companies from selling single-use water bottles, and lobbying governments to ban them. Because in order to change everything, we need everyone. Our solutions range from reusable water bottles and accessible water taps to community actions and governmental lobbying.
