The End of a Bottled Water Era

The Australian town of Bundanoon, 150 km south west of Sydney, has decided of its own volition to neither sell, nor giveaway, bottled still water, within the town precinct.

A meeting of about 20 businesses initially agreed to the initiative. This was followed by community meeting in early July 2009, where the packed town hall of 356 residents voted overwhelmingly to support the initiative. It is believed, once bottled water alternatives are in place, the initiative will make Bundanoon Australia's First Bottled Water Free Town. (And possibly the world's
first.)
