Australian University to Ban Bottled Water
ABC News
January 21, 2011
The University of Canberra (UC) is introducing a total ban on the sale of bottled water on its campus.
It is believed to be the largest ban of its kind in Australia and the first across a university.
The ban was the idea of students and developed with input from the environmental action group Do Something.
Do Something founder John Dee says the ban will stop 143,000 plastic bottles from being sold annually.
Instead, students will have access to free water bubblers similar to the ones installed in the New South Wales town of Bundanoon, where water bottles have been banned since 2009.
