Canberra uni to ban bottled water

January 21, 2011 12:21AM

THE University of Canberra is to introduce a total ban on bottled water from its campus.

It's believed to be the largest ban of its kind in Australia and the first across a university.

Organisers say the ban will stop 140,000 plastic bottles from being sold annually.

Instead, students will have access to free water bubblers of the same kind which have been installed in the New South Wales town of Bundanoon, where water bottles have been banned since 2009.

"By supplying free water and cheap, chilled water, the university will be helping students to break a bottled water habit that's costing Australians half a billion dollars a year," the founder of environmental group Do Something, John Dee said in a statement.

The ban will be phased in. Sales of water on the campus will totally cease by late March.

Of an interest regarding well esteemed public figures... Weary Dunlop was against it (wonder if it was that pot he was having to alleviate pain in his latter years)
