The other day I was reading in the Des Moines Register about a story that just made me shake my head. In the story, it was stated that Drake University in Iowa has now banned plastic water bottles. In their defense, this was a student led initiative. While they have banned plastic water bottles, it appears they are giving each student a refillable water bottle and making hydration stations plentifully available.
Yet, I am waiting for the moment when these same people who are so against plastic water bottles, ban all soft drink plastic bottles. I mean, fair is fair, right? Of course not! I know the twisted logic that will not allow this to happen.
Before you think that I am completely missing the point, if you banned all purified bottled water, I would be completely behind you on that one. To ban water that is carefully bottled and not just purified is short-sighted to say the least. Of course, it means that you have to do your research and understand how each brand and supplier packages their water.
