Forcing someone to do something does not solve the problem. Education is the only way.

In Canada, bottled water is regulated as a food and therefore it must comply with the Food and Drugs Act. In addition to the Food and Drugs Act and Regulations, the Health Products and Food Branch also issue guidelines for bottled water and other products. The federal responsibility for the regulation of bottled water sold in Canada is shared by Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. As you can see, bottled water IS regulated!

For you people that think banning it is a bad idea because you're so "pro choice".. you're straight crazy.

Water bottles are taking their toll on the planet and no you should not have the choice to buy them if that is the case. Buy a bottle that you can use over and over and buy a damn filter. You can actually buy water bottles that have built in filters so you can fill anywhere from a tap.

People that want water bottles need to do some research.

Not bad if you acknowledge how unnecessary and damaging it is after watching this wonderful video. Your municipality has accountability to you, your health, and your local environment, where as that bottled water company does not.

Support the tap!

As I said, I'm sort of just playing the devils advocate with you.

I agree, we should stop using bottles. But be careful in regards to banning things, allow people to be smart and make their own decisions rather then telling them what to think and do.

We all want a utopia, but there are so many conflicting issues, that completely banning something altogether just sounds like a rash decision to me.
