Ban bottled water

 

What an excellent proposal by Manly Council to ban bottled water.

Bottled water has quickly become a huge environmental problem around the world and, in a country such as Australia, its very existence as a product is unnecessary and is simply driven by the huge profits enjoyed by the bottlers and advertisers that market the products.

Perhaps Gosford and Wyong Councils could propose a similiar ban.

As one of the biggest sources of bottled water, it would set a fantastic example.

Gosford and Wyong could lead the state in so many ways environmentally.

They just have to act.
