Off the bottle

I’ve seen a lot of chuckles about the fact that fewer people would drink bottled water if they knew where it came from (like labeling saying it came from a municipal tap, like some do).

Now I see that an Australian town, Bundanoon, is banning bottled water to help save the planet … and their own water reservoir:

The BBC’s Nick Bryant in Sydney says locals have promised not to set upon visitors if they ignore the ban, but they will be encouraged to fill a reusable container from water fountains in the main street.

The reusable bottles will bear the slogan “Bundy on Tap.”

Watch the AP video below (someone says “bubbler;” yes!).
