Becomes the First US City to Ban Single-Use Plastic Water Bottles http://inhabitat.com/concord-mass-becomes-the-first-us-city-to-ban-single-use-plastic-water-bottles/ Green design & eco innovation for a better world Sat, 18 May 2013 14:21:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: User1 http://inhabitat.com/concord-mass-becomes-the-first-us-city-to-ban-single-use-plastic-water-bottles/comment-page-1/#comment-464572 User1 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:58:30 +0000 http://inhabitat.com/?p=472042#comment-464572 To all the negative commenters.......are you serious? This is what needs to happen anywhere, especially in this day and age of extreme wastage, pollution and limited resources. To say it is stupid is so ignorant and shortsighted, as is saying "well, what about bottles of other stuff??.......we have to start somewhere and I think this is a very responsible way to cut down on wastage and pollution. The manufacturers won't do it themselves so they have to be made to do it. Also.....if you know you are going to be out for any length of time, take a bottle of tap water.

Ban it all or nothing to really make an impact. Great, but why allow soda and flavored water to be sold in the same plastic? Ban it all or nothing to really make an impact.

It was bubble gum money. Our water, that we have been selling for fifteen years is 500 million years old and should really be bottled in crystal. Our customers settle for clear glass. Many people I know can taste that plastic. It causes cancer, liver damage, tooth decay, and planetrot.

From my prespective, if I am out and need a single serving beverage I am now limited in my choice to things that are less healthy or maybe even distasteful to me!

Which town will be next? Folks can go to the town next door to buy bottled water for now. We need to organize a campaign to buy in communities that have bottle bans! Maybe create a map?
