The first community in the world to ban bottled water
You won’t be able to find bottled water for sale in Bundanoon, New South Wales, Australia.
The rural town with a population of 2,500 has decided to ban the sale of bottled water because of its impact on the environment.
It could be the first community in the world to do so.
In a public meeting in the town hall to vote on it, at least 350 voted for it and only two voted against, one a resident, and another a representative from the bottled water industry.
If New Jersey ever decides to implement this, then less junk for the NJ junk removal company.
Still, locals have promised not to “punish” visitors ignoring the ban, but they will be advised to put used bottles in a reusable container.
