Bottled Water Banned!
July 9th, 2009 . by Christina
As my husband keeps driving into my head, all regulatory changes happen on a local level. It is impossible to expect the federal government to know each individual’s desires, but if you approach issues locally and in your community, change can happen over time. A small community in Australia has proven that the people can have a voice. Common citizens jumped on board with the banning of water bottles and spoke out against the destructive environmental impact the manufacturing and disposal of plastic bottles causes. The voting was near unanimous with all but two voters (one of which was a bottled water representative) among 356 siding with the environment. This story just proves how operating locally can be effective and people’s voices can be heard! Good work Bundanoon!
