Should bottled water be banned?
A town in Australia has banned the sale of bottled water as a part of their plan to save the environment. I started feeling bad because we use a lot of bottled water in my house (we recycle religiously). But it seems kind of unrealistic – especially in the case of emergencies or natural disasters (and I live in Cali with earthquakes eminent at any time) we NEED bottled water! Do you think bottled water should be banned?? Why or why not?

No. It wouldn’t be an issue if everyone who used bottled water recycled their plastics. The problem is everything ending up in landfills or in the ocean.
