Is it just a matter of time before this goes everywhere? For the environment, it makes perfect sense though it would be a pity to not be able to enjoy the various waters out there unless you traveled to the distant region. Less plastic and no costly shipping.
Plastic bottles were ceremoniously removed from shelves in the sleepy Australian town of Bundanoon at the weekend as a ban on commercially-bottled water – believed to be a world first – came into force.
The ban, which is supported by local shopkeepers, means bottled water can no longer be bought in the town in the Southern Highlands, two hours from Sydney. Instead, reusable bottles have gone on sale, which can be refilled for free at new drinking fountains.
