Cowichan’s VIU campus a plastic water bottle-free zone
Vancouver Island University is weaning itself from the bottle — the plastic bottle, that is.
VIU campuses are phasing out the sale of plastic water bottles between now and June, but Cowichan’s ahead of the curve.
“The Cowichan campus was designed as a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) building, so it’s already built in water fountains around campus, and the cafeteria is not selling bottled water,” VIU’s Toni O’Keefe said.
She added that while the bottle-ban is part of the university’s environmental values, individuals are still allowed to tote their own plastic bottles in campus.
