Ban bottled water!
What a waste of resources bottled water is ...
Not only do we have millions of plastic bottles produced and discarded every day, but think of all the fuel used to transport the stuff ... water is very, very heavy!!  You have all see the ads on telly about using concentrated conditioner and how many lorries it too off the road ... well think of how many millions of gallons of fuel banning bottled water would save every year!!  I am being serious here ... what a waste of resources it is ... and the gov even said about carrier bags wastage in the budget ... but if they are worried about waste to that level, then wtf is going on with allowing bottled water to be shipped and sold in the quantities it is?  that is all!!

Re: Ban bottled water!
I agree too, major waste when we live in a country with decent tap water. I can understand it in some though.

Re: Ban bottled water!
Ah, well, if you're away out or on a train or on the bike or generally on the move, bottled water is fine- it's people who drink it in the house (and have potable tap water) that are the problem. But banning bottled water isn't the solution...

Re: Ban bottled water!
It would have to be a very weak solution.
