Ban on water bottles helping the environment
Some colleges and universities such as Seattle University and the University of Wisconsin have banned plastic water bottles, like the brands Deer Park and Aquafina, from their campuses. Many more schools, restaurants, and other facilities are starting to follow this trend. The University of Maryland, New York University, and Stanford University have also made the effort to help the environment by banning the sale of bottled water in their dining halls. In the place they were originally sold there are now water fountains or other water dispensers where students can refill their reusable containers.
As of 2007 in an effort to help the environment and save taxpayers money, Frederick County the County Board of Commissioners will no longer buy bottled water with county funds. Some of the major cities such as Las Angeles, Phoenix, and Chicago have also made it illegal to buy bottled water with county funds. More than 100 other cities and 3 states (Illinois, Virginia, New York) have already taken similar action.
