Ban on Bottled water at the University of Canberra
"Do Something founder John Dee says the ban will stop 143,000 plastic bottles from being sold annually.
Instead, students will have access to free water bubblers similar to the ones installed in the New South Wales town of Bundanoon, where water bottles have been banned since 2009.
"By supplying free water and cheap, chilled water, the university will be helping students to break a bottled water habit that's costing Australians half-a-billion dollars a year," Mr Dee said.
He says he hopes other institutions follow UC's lead.
"If the 13,000 students and staff at the University of Canberra can do this, there's no reason why every other university in Australia cannot do the same," he said."
In the store we stopped selling plastic bottled water, changing to water in glass
and we put in two water filetrs and have a perfectly good tap.
In fact we try very hard to only sell things in glass or biodegradable packaging.
People LOVE their habits and really believe water is poison from the tap!!
The demand for individulaised water in plastic drinking bottles still exists...
When it's this easy.......
