NOTE FROM EDITOR: if anyone is considering asking their municipal government to ban bottled water, there is some great information available from the Council of Canadians as noted below;

To support and highlight the wonderful initiatives of a growing list of chapter activists working to have bottled water banned in public spaces across the country, the Council of Canadians has added a new section on our website called “Unbottle it!” Among other resources the section includes a map of municipalities and school boards where bottled water bans have passed or are being considered. The section also includes submissions by the London, Charlottetown and Guelph chapters. It is a work in progress and we plan to add many more tools and resources in the coming months.
