Banning Bottled Water

Posted by: EasyWater

Here are some good links to recent articles on banning bottled water and in particular response to the Bundanoon ban.

A small Australian town makes waves in the New York Times.

A BBC World Service interview with Jan Bender, the owner and chairman of Iskilde bottled water company in Denmark and Jeanette Longfield, the coordinator of Sustain, an organisation which has campaigned against bottled water in the UK, where they discusss the Bundanoon situation and if it's relevant to the EU.

I found this discussion interesting and Jan Bender had no option but to admit that there is no real difference between tap water and bottled water. Jeanette Longfield missed the point slightly of the Bundanoon protest as she linked this to Australia's drought when it was really an outcome of a protest against a bottler.
