Bottled-Water Banned?! Possibly….
My “Bottled Water” Originally uploaded by dannyman
I was watching the news a few days ago, and saw that some cities within Canada are taking up a ban against all bottled water being sold at city facilities, and it looks like Winnipeg may soon follow.
Harvey Smith, “the Daniel McIntyre councillor plans to table a motion when council next meets on Sept. 24 banning bottled water throughout the network of municipal buildings and facilities.”
This means you won’t be able to get bottled water at any city-run facilities, such as the Pan-Am Pool and community centers. They would be removed from consession stands and vending machines.
People are on the fence about this decision. I personally like bottled water. It’s convenient to grab when i’m thristy, and i’d rather have bottled water than pop, but at the same time, i won’t be devasted if I can’t get one. Oh well..We’ll see come September 24th I guess..

Fill that bottle of water 3/4s of the way with oil, that’s how much it takes to produce it. Why do we need bottled water when we have perfectly good water coming to our taps? Most bottled water is tap water anyway, it says so right on the bottle!

I rarely buy bottled water. I’m a cheapskate. There are times where i’m just thirsty and don’t have a bottle on me to fill from the taps, what do i do then? Drink pepsi? I don’t drink pop. Or the times I don’t want to haul around an expensive sigg bottle because i’ll probably loose it. Not only is the bottle that pop in bad for the environment but what about the pop? That shit is NOT good for our health.
I don’t understand how this debate is even going on, when NOONE will even TALK about banning smoking. How much is smoking costing Winnipeg/Manitoba/Canada???
I know it’s only city facilities, but they are trying to push for more and more people to do it.
