Have Your Say on the sale of bottled water

Aug 26, 2009 - 12:00 AM

We asked: Should the Region ban the sale of bottled water in Durham? Why or why
not?


Enough nanny state already - greater consumer education is what’s needed. Too many imagine bottled water comes from a sparkling glacier at rainbow’s end when actually most bottled water is ordinary tap water packaged in plastic. But there’s a myriad assortment of beverages in plastic bottles. Why limit consumer choice to those containing sugar or colour? Imagine yourself ‘on the run’ at Esso with a carsick child - water?
