Bundanoon bans bottled water - world first
Shopkeepers ceremoniously removed the last bottles of water from their shelves and replaced them with reusable bottles that can be filled from fountains inside the town's shops or at water stations in the street. A New South Wales study found that in 2006, the industry was responsible for releasing 60,000 tonnes of gases blamed for global warming.
IMO: The ban is something we can be really pleased about. Every time I see some idiot buying bottled water at a supermarket I am flatly puzzled. The UK at least seem to have killed off Coca Cola's hopes of making money from bogus resale of heavily polluted Sidcup water. Even now, in the Kerala backwaters, firms like Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola may find heavy legal penalties eventually forthcoming because of their criminal US efforts to destroy the local infrastructure for dollar advantage. Some say that both firms may eventually go the way of Union Carbide and be no more.
