Prominent university to ban bottled water
Bottled water will soon be a thing of the past at the University of Canberra (UC) in Australia. At the prompting of student activists connected to the environmental group Do Something, the school has decided to cease all sales of bottled water beginning March 22, and provide drinking water through both conventional water fountains and water machines that fill reusable drinking containers.
“By supplying free water and cheap, chilled water, the university will be helping students to break abottled waterhabit that’s costing Australians half-a-billion dollars a year,” said John Dee, founder of Do Something. “If the 13,000studentsand staff at the University of Canberra can do this, there’s no reason why every other university inAustraliacannot do the same.”
The South Wales town of Bundanoon bannedwaterbottles back in 2009, upon which it installed the same water machines and fountains that UC plans to install. And according to Dee, the new water systems are both better for health and better forthe environment.
