Banning all plastic bottles? I don't think so. I know for a fact that plastic bottles of flavored water are still regularly sold from the canteen. In fact, they are the most popular item and bring in the greatest income. This "ban" is all a farce for the media and I think that it would be preferred that the school sold regular water as opposed to sugary junk, especially since Sydney is suffering from a teenage obesity epidemic...

as much i like the idea that they're trying to encourage students to 'go green' it could backfire. in my experience i find bubblers to be germ ridden and filthy. you have the indian minors and other birds landing on them, and children with contagious illnesses such as gastro using them. oh well, i don't have to use it so i won't complain :)

you can still buy flavoured pump bottles from the canteen...

There's a place in Michigan that sells water in a milk carton type box, they should do that.

41312111 Nearly 50% of bottled water is actually just tap water. And tap water is so highly regulated in many countries, including NZ and Australia, while bottled water is rarely tested for quality so it could be argued that tap water is cleaner than bottled water. And how can you say that a man who is willing to sail a boat made from 12,500 reclaimed plastic bottles to raise awareness of the negative environmental impacts single-use plastics are having on the world's environment is "evil"?
